  • Method and apparatus for variable time pulse sampling
    Patent number: 10690448
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for variable time sampling of optical pulses by a unit cell are disclosed. The methods may include detecting whether an amplitude of an optical pulse incident on one or more photo-detecting elements exceeds a sampling threshold, and while the pulse amplitude remains above the sampling threshold, iteratively sampling the optical pulse at a sampling rate that varies based on changes in the pulse amplitude.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2020
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventor: Christopher J. Titus
