Applications demanding imaging at low-light conditions at near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths, such as quantum information science, biophotonics, space imaging, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR), have accelerated the develo ...
Vision systems built around conventional image sensors have to read, encode and transmit large quantities of pixel information, a majority of which is redundant. As a result, new computational imaging sensor architectures were developed to preprocess the r ...
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is an imaging modality often used to monitor biochemical properties of a cell or a tissue. In addition to conventional fluorescence microscopy features, such as selective labeling and non-invasiveness, FLIM e ...
The invention relates to an image sensor comprising a photodetector array including neighboring photodetector elements, each photodetector element comprising: - a photodetector cell having a photodiode and a reset unit; - a cell control unit coupled with t ...
In this paper, we propose a physics-based compact model of the pinned photodiode (PPD) combined with the transfer gate. A set of analytical expressions is derived for the 2-D electrostatic profile, the PPD capacitance, and the charge transfer current. The ...
The low-light performance of a CMOS image sensor (CIS) is one of the most important performance metrics in a camera, whether it is used in products for consumer electronics or in an image-acquisition system for machine vision or the Internet-of-Things (IoT ...
This article introduces a modular, direct time-of-flight (TOF) depth sensor. Each module is digitally synthesized and features a 2 × (8 × 8) single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) pixel array, an edge-sensitive decision tree, a shared time-to ...
The present invention relates to a multispectral image sensor having a pixel array for detecting images with light components in different wavelength ranges, comprising a plurality of imaging layers each embedded in a semiconductor substrate, wherein in ea ...
Oxygenation is an important marker in many clinical settings, e.g. diagnosing ischaemic brain injuries in preterm infants or determining treatment effectiveness in cancer patients. Despite significant efforts to determine the oxygenation state of the human ...
The present invention relates to a pixel sensor cell (1) for a CMOS sensor device comprising: - a photodiode (11) for generating photoelectrons; - a first transfer transistor (12) coupling the photodiode (11) with an intermediate node (IN) and configured t ...
