Photometry, Photon Counting Dead-Time

Scientific paper

Experiments are described which demonstrate that the dead-time constant associated with a photon counting stellar photometer/polarimeter is readily determinable by the application of the Malus law. It is also proposed that corrections for dead-time losses should be applied by an iteration technique to the exact equation rather than using the available approximation formulae.
