Jp. Wang et E. Mazur, REJECTION OF STOCHASTIC BACKGROUND-NOISE IN LOW-LEVEL PULSED-LIGHT SCATTERING EXPERIMENTS, Review of scientific instruments, 64(9), 1993, pp. 2550-2551
We present an electronic scheme for reducing stochastic noise in the d
etection of low-level light signals in experiments where the signal co
incides in time with a probe laser pulse. This scheme has been applied
successfully in Raman experiments to reject the noise generated by af
terpulsing in photomultiplier tubes as well as by unwanted laser-induc
ed fluorescence.
