Counting Photons in the Λ-Experiment [PDF]
Dehmelt's Λ-experiment for a three-level atom with simultaneously driven strong and weak transition is studied within quantum stochastic calculus approach. The statistics of the emitted photons is found by the method of generating functional of the corresponding two-dimensional output counting process.

Three-Dimensional Object Recognition With Multiview Photon-Counting Sensing and Imaging
We present a method for photon-counting sensing with three-dimensional (3-D) integral imaging for object recognition using independent component analysis (ICA). A lenslet array is used to capture multiple perspective images of a 3-D scene projected onto

Study on Single Photon Imaging Method for Permanent Shadow Crater of the Moon [PDF]
The detection of the permanent shadow area of the moon is currently a research hotspot. As the name suggests, there is no light in the permanent shadow area, and traditional methods cannot image it. This paper proposes a single photon imaging method that
