Time-stamping and counting of single photons using fast camera
I will discuss fast optical cameras based on the back-illuminated silicon sensor and Timepix3 ASIC. The sensor has high quantum efficiency, and the chip provides nanosecond scale time resolution and data-driven readout with 80Mpix/sec bandwidth. The intensified version of the camera is single photon sensitive and since recently has been used for registration of single photons in a variety of quantum information science and quantum imaging experiments as well as for other applications. We briefly review the camera and describe recent experiments with a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer to characterize its photon counting capabilities.
