A technique for the measurement of the time histogram of a
sequence of photons with respect to a periodic event, e.g. a flash from a repetitive nanosecond
lamp or a
CW operated
laser (
mode locked
laser). The essential part is a time-to-amplitude-converter (
TAC) which transforms the arrival time between a start and a stop pulse into a voltage.
Sometimes called single photon timing.
