An imaging system having one or more single-photon detectors is configured to enable rapid switching between different operational modes. The imaging system includes a reprogrammable controller communicatively coupled to one or more single-photon detectors and to a host computer device via a high-speed data link. In operation, the one or more single-photon detectors are operated according to a first operational mode. A reprogrammable logic device of the controller is then reconfigured to operate the one or more single-photon detectors in a second operational mode without requiring changes to the overall hardware configuration/setup of the imaging system.

Time-resolved analysis of a spectrum is performed by illuminating a one-dimensional array of charge-transfer device light-sensitive pixel cells and periodically non-destructively copying charges in the light-sensitive cells to respective storage cells ('row storage registers') co-located with the light-sensitive cells in an integrated circuit. Information about the charges stored in at least some of the storage cells is provided to a component external to the integrated circuit.
