Time tagged time resolved single photon counting technique for quantum astronomy applications

Atime-tagged, time-resolved single photon THz counting system, based on the recently-developed, GHz, radio-frequency
photomultiplier tube (RF PMT) is considered. The detection and readout systems of the RF PMT are based on commercial
multichannel plates, electron bombardment avalanche photodiodes and regular nanosecond electronics. The proposed technique
is capable of detecting single photons with 1 ps resolution over virtually unlimited time spans. Over a period of around 100 ns the
technique is capable of THz rates, while longer term average rates of up to GHz can be achieved. In principle, with a dedicated spiral
scanning system and electron detector, the rate could be increased up to the THz level. Possible application in Quantum Astronomy
is discussed.
