The dead time of photon counters which convert photon flux into an electric pulse sequence is extended and varies randomly. This study deals with the determination of the original intensity of an unsteady Poisson flux from the given recorded intensity and dead-time distribution function and of the dead-time distribution function from the input and recorded intensities. The results are sufficiently general to be applied not only to photon counters but also to other random-event detectors.
