pyLifetimeSpectraGenerator - A simple Python program for the generation of synthetic lifetime spectra consisting of discrete or distributed characteristic lifetimes.

Quickstart Guide (see example.py)

• import the 'pyLifetimeSpectraGenerator' module

import pyLifetimeSpectraGenerator as plg

• generate your synthetic lifetime spectrum using 'pyLifetimeSpectraGenerator' module ...

# (1) generate the IRF function (or import numerical data) ...
__,irf_data = lsg.generateGaussianIRF(numberOfBins   = 10000,
                                      binWidth_in_ps = 5.,
                                      t0_in_ps       = 4100.,
                                      fwhm_in_ps     = 200.)
        
# (2) generate a distribution of characteristic lifetimes following a Gaussian function ...
tau_grid,I_pdf = lsg.generateGaussianDistributionOfLifetimes(number_of_tau_grid_points = 10000,
                                                             tau_grid_range_in_ps      = [10.,5000.],

# (3) generate the resulting lifetime spectrum ...
