1. A computer-implemented method for compression of Time Tagged data comprising Time Tagged data records, the method comprising the steps of:
a) separating the Time Tagged data records into a plurality of groups;
b) sorting the Time Tagged data records in at least one of the groups by a photon arrival time;
c) subtracting a content of a record by a content of an adjacent record resulting in modified records; and
d) compressing the modified records with a compression method.
