Data Analysis
QE(absolute efficiency) = photoelectron # / incidental photon #
I. Estimate photoelectron # per laser shotphotoelectron # = -ln(Nped/Nall)
II. Estimate scattered light yieldY = incidental photon # / initial laser photon
~ aperture x Cross Section

Really see only scattered photons?
-> 'YES' There's no other factors(offset) for data
