High gain photo cell with improved pulsed light operation

摘要

A photocell system includes a current control circuit that provides an offset voltage. Each photocell in a photocell array includes an opto-electrical converter receives the offset voltage such that the opto-electrical converter establishes a DC operating point. In one embodiment, each photocell includes the current control circuit. In an alternate embodiment, a single current control circuit provides the offset voltage for the entire photocell array.
