Abstract: Techniques for minimizing power consumption in photodetector measurements are provided. The techniques utilize a method for controlling a photodetector, including the steps of receiving, by a system comprising memory and one or more processors, a target value of the photodetector, receiving, by the system, an output from the photodetector, and processing, by a neural network of the system, the output from the photodetector. The neural network outputs a health signal and, based at least on the health signal and the target value, the system generates a bias signal and applies the bias signal to the photodetector to drive the photodetector to the target value.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling photodetector systems are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for controlling a photodetector. The system may comprise one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to: receive a target value; receive an output from the photodetector; generate, based at least on the target value, a bias signal; and apply the bias signal to the photodetector to drive a parameter of the photodetector to the target value.
