Detector control by multiple trigger pulses applied during one blinding pulse. (a) Blinding and trigger pulses, the latter being of 240 ps FWHM. The blinding pulse has \(P = 309\text{ nW}\) and is applied at 20 Hz rate. (b) Detector output at \(E = 10^{-15}\text{ J}\). These trigger pulses never cause clicks. (c) The trigger pulses’ energy is increased by 3 dB to \(2\times 10^{-15}\text{ J}\). Each of them always causes a click
