“…In previous works 9, 10 we have introduced a full characterization protocol of the SiPMs, whose results are not reported here. In this paper, we only summarize one of the procedures that allows the modeling of the detector response and the self-consistent recovery of the DCR amd cross-talk contributions.…”

“…17 In previous works 9, 10 we have demonstrated the capability of SiPMs to reconstruct the statistics of classical optical states such as coherent states and single-mode thermal states. Here we show that SiPMs can reconstruct also non-trivial photon-number distributions, such as that of a displaced phase-averaged coherent state (D-PACS), which is the superimposition of a coherent state with |α 1 | 2 mean photons and a phaseaveraged state with |α 2 | 2 mean photons at the same frequency.…”

We present the characterization of a multi-pixel detector (SiPM, Hamamatsu) in the presence of dark-count and cross-talk effects. Our description yields a self-consistent calibration of the device, based on the light under investigation, which is used to evaluate shot-by-shot detected-photon numbers including dark-counts and cross-talk. The analysis allows us to reliably reconstruct the detected-photons statistics of different light states by taking into account the modifications introduced by detector features. Finally we quantify photon-number correlations in bipartite states and use the data to produce conditional states: only if dark-count and cross-talk effects can be neglected, the experimental results match theory.
