    Abstract: A method for locating a center of a field of view of an optical element using a system having a surface disposed at a first illumination, an image receiver, a blocker disposed at a second illumination, the method including disposing the blocker at, at least one location in the field of view upon the surface in a first direction when the brightness of an image within the field of view of the optical element is disposed at a brightness and recording a first location of the blocker; repeating the disposing step in a second direction and at the brightness, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction and each of the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the surface; and averaging the first location and the second location to yield the center of the field of view of the optical element in the first direction.

    Abstract: An optical measurement apparatus having an improved light intensity detection performance is provided. The optical measurement apparatus includes a light receiving element capable of converting a light intensity of light to be analyzed into an electrical signal; an input terminal to which the electrical signal is input; a first amplifier and a nonlinear element configuring a logarithmic amplifier; offset resistors; a switch unit; and a controller. An inverting input terminal of the first amplifier is electrically connected to the input terminal. The offset resistors have different resistance values. The switch unit can switch an offset resistor electrically connected between the voltage source and the input terminal, of the offset resistors. An offset current is input to the input terminal by the offset resistor electrically connected between the voltage source and the input terminal. The controller measures the light intensity based on an output voltage value of the first amplifier.

    Abstract: An image sensor comprises a plurality of pixels, each pixel including: a light-receiving element that outputs an output voltage that varies in response to a photon entering; at least one comparator that compares the output voltage with a plurality of mutually-different threshold voltages and outputs a single signal each time the output voltage varies so as to exceed either of the threshold voltages; and at least one counter that counts a number of signals output by the comparator upon comparing the output voltage with the plurality of threshold voltages and outputs a count value, for each of the threshold voltages.
