相关光子可以直接测量光子计数探测器的检测效率，而不需要任何外部校准标准。本文概述了该技术的历史，并回顾了如何在实际的实验室环境中实现该技术。讨论了该技术中不确定性的一些来源以及如何将其最小化和量化。目的是提供必要的信息，以鼓励这种技术从计量实验室进入一般光子计数探测器社区。
Abstract Correlated photons can be used to directly measure the detection efficiency of photon counting detectors without any ties to externally calibrated standards. An overview of the history of this technique is given and the paper reviews how to implement it in a practical lab setting. Some of the sources of uncertainty in the technique and how they can be minimized and quantified are discussed. The intent is to provide the information necessary to encourage the movement of this technique from the metrology lab into the general photon-counting detector community.
