某些非理想光电倍增管特性与光子计数的实践特别相关。关于这些特性的文献在描述所涉及的机制时可能相当混乱，例如与单电子响应畸变、阳极脉冲形状振铃等有关的机制。这篇综述论文批判性地研究了这些领域，并试图以此来解决它们。简要回顾了其他相关但建立良好的领域，并参考了关键论文。光电倍增管特性对光子计数性能的影响与相关的最佳条件建议一起讨论，并适当考虑电子仪器。
Certain nonideal photomultiplier characteristics are particularly relevant to the practice of photon counting. The literature on some of these characteristics can be rather confusing in the description of the mechanisms involved, such as those associated with single electron response distortion, ringing in anode pulse shapes, etc. This review paper critically studies these areas and in so doing attempts to resolve them. Other relevant but well established areas are reviewed briefly and key papers referenced. The effects of photomultiplier characteristics on photon counting performance are discussed together with associated recommendations for optimum conditions, with due regard to electronic instrumentation.
