For this module, global t=0 is chosen in such a way that the mean value of temporal distribution is *always* positioned at *4 standard deviations* w.r.t. the global t=0.
Thus, there is not necessarily a particle that is created exactly when the global time starts.
Although, the following Allpix Squared conventions still apply:
* No particles have a negative timestamp.
* Local time zero for each detector is a moment when the first particle that creates a hit in this detectors enters its bulk.

## Parameters
*`number_of_photons`: number of incident photons, generated in *one* event. Defaults to 10000. The total deposited charge will also depend on wavelength and geometry.
*`wavelength` of the laser. Supported values are 250 -- 1450 nm.
*`pulse_duration`: gaussian width of pulse temporal profile. Defaults to 0.5 ns.
