Thanks Fred
yet

1
i don't have it

2
what is Vacum got to do with it ???

3 can you give some simple bottom lines??

TIA

thank you Al
for the first time in my life i lived to get from you
an apposite answer without an *automatic*  personal abuse!!

now
how do we define a single photon theoretically??
what is the smallest possible one ??

or the one with the smallest energy??
how it is defined theoretically?
??(if there is at all 'the smallest')

2
how do we know it is a single photon and not 2 or 3 of them??

3
may be both  the   'emitter and the detector    define 10 of them as
one ??
(10 is just an example )

iow
may be the whole issue deserves some new thinking  and examination ??

now i will tell you  my ulterior motive to ask those questions:
(among other reasons)

if it will be found that it is  not actually just 'one photon' but some
of them
than it might   shed new light on the 'double slit  enigma??)

PS do you notice some improvement in my spelling??

it is not because i became a better  English  writer...
it is due to one of the members here that directed me to a good useful
spell checker!
sorry i forgot the Gentleman's name ...
and if still spelling mistake - it is the   speller fault .......

TIA

So is snakeoil: Single photon detector hehe.

And how does the 1MHz photon detector work then oh Al knowing?
