摘要
We show theoretically that photon counting technique can be used to obtain ghost imaging as long as the number distribution of photon source is non-Poissonian; the visibility of image could be either negative or positive, depending on the photon statistical properties. The visibility of photon counting ghost imaging can be enhanced using higher order correlations. With taking advantage of high speed photon counting CCD and detector, fast imaging can be achieved.
