Abstract: A method of medical imaging is provided. The method includes receiving pulsed light emissions from fluoroscopic material in a target field of a patient, wherein the target field was treated with fluoroscopic material that emitted the pulsed light emissions in response to a pulsed laser signal. The pulsed laser signal has a wavelength that was selected to excite the fluoroscopic material. The method further includes capturing a passive image of the target field and asynchronously detecting pulses of the pulsed light emissions. The method further includes determining pulse-source coordinates in the image, wherein the pulse-source coordinates correspond to a location of the fluoroscopic material that emitted the pulsed light emissions.

Abstract: A system includes a pixel having a diffusion layer within a cap layer. The diffusion layer defines a front side and an illumination side opposite the front side with an absorption layer operatively connected to the illumination side as well as the diffusion and cap layers. A set of alternating oxide and nitride layers are deposited on the front side of the cap and diffusion layers.

Abstract: A pixel of a pixel array is provided. The pixel includes a low frequency path configured to receive an input signal from a corresponding photodetector. The low frequency path includes a passive imaging circuit provided along the low frequency path, the passive imaging circuit configured to output an analog imaging signal and a flash analog to digital converter (ADC) that receives the analog imaging signal and processes the analog imaging signal to output a coarse digitized signal.

Abstract: An imaging method includes assigning pixels within the extent of a focal plane array active area to a first readout range and a second readout range. Image data is read out from the pixels assigned to the first readout range and the second readout range. Pixels located within the extend of the focal plane array active area and not assigned to the first readout range or the second readout range are left unread. Imaging systems and hyperspectral imaging arrangements are also described.

Abstract: An imaging pixel includes a photodetector for generating a charge signal, an input buffer, a control device, and a switch. The input buffer is connected to the photodetector for amplifying the charge signal. The control device is connected to the photodetector and the input buffer to separate high-frequency charge signals from low frequency charge signals. The switch is operably connected to the input buffer for sampling of high-frequency charge signals in a charge storage device triggered by amplitude of high-frequency charge signals provided by the input buffer.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring a pulse detection bitmap from an imaging sensor array into a digital read out integrated circuit (DROIC), filtering the pulse detection bitmap within the DROIC to convert the pulse detection bitmap into a filtered pulse detection bitmap, and determining for a given pixel in the filtered pulse detection bitmap whether the pixel has a value that exceeds a threshold, indicating a true laser pulse return has been detected in the pixel.

Abstract: A method includes correcting for at least one of gain and offset during frame integration for photodetector events. Gain and offset correction is performed separately in each pixel of a digital read-out integrated circuit (DROIC) for a plurality of corresponding pixels in a photodetector array. First and second binary counters respectively use a gain register and an offset register to implement gain and offset correction.

Abstract: An imaging system and a method of imaging are provided. The imaging system includes a single optics module configured for focusing light reflected or emanated from a dynamic scene in the infrared spectrum and a synchronous focal plane array for receiving the focused light and acquiring infrared images having a high spatial resolution and a low temporal resolution from the received focused light. The imaging system further includes an asynchronous neuromorphic vision system configured for receiving the focused light and acquiring neuromorphic event data having a high temporal resolution, and a read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) configured to readout both the infrared images and event data.

Abstract: A pixel system for an imaging device can include one or more pixels comprising a pulse trigger assembly configured to detect a pulse at one or more threshold voltages, a timer system forming part of and/or connected to the one or more pixels, the timer system comprising one or more trigger switches. The pulse trigger assembly can be configured to activate the one or more trigger switches in response to detecting the pulse at the one or more threshold values. The pixel system can include a time-of-flight (TOF) module operatively connected to the one or more pixels and/or the timer system to determine a TOF based on an output from the timer system while simultaneously performing either or both passive imaging and asynchronous laser pulse detection.
