    "abstract": "We present a scheme for a photon-counting detection system that can be\noperated at incident photon rates higher than otherwise possible by suppressing\nthe effects of detector deadtime. The method uses an array of N detectors and a\n1-by-N optical switch with a control circuit to direct input light to live\ndetectors. Our calculations and models highlight the advantages of the\ntechnique. In particular, using this scheme, a group of N detectors provides an\nimprovement in operation rate that can exceed the improvement that would be\nobtained by a single detector with deadtime reduced by 1/N, even if it were\nfeasible to produce a single detector with such a large improvement in\ndeadtime. We model the system for continuous and pulsed light sources, both of\nwhich are important for quantum metrology and quantum key distribution\napplications.",
