Time-resolved detectors for quantum ghost imaging
Quantum ghost imaging is a method that utilizes the correlated detection of two photons to generate an image. One photon is detected by an imaging sensor and the other by a single-element bucket detector. The selection of the imaging sensor and its capabilities relative to the bucket detector impact the quality of the ghost images. This work examines a SPAD array and a photocathode detector as imaging sensors for quantum ghost imaging. We discuss how to achieve optimal images using these two technologies. We also demonstrate that these devices are able to generate ghost images at 1Hz frame rates, expanding the technique to biologically relevant time scales.
