    "abstract": "We study the properties of a photodetector that has a number-resolving\ncapability. In the absence of dark counts, due to its finite quantum\nefficiency, photodetection with such a detector can only eliminate the\npossibility that the incident field corresponds to a number of photons less\nthan the detected photon number. We show that such a {\\em non-photon}\nnumber-discriminating detector, however, provides a useful tool in the\nreconstruction of the photon number distribution of the incident field even in\nthe presence of dark counts.",
