An illustrative optical measurement system may include a module comprising a light source configured to emit light directed at a target, a plurality of detectors configured to detect target photon arrival times of target photons of the light after the light is scattered by the target, and a reference detector configured to detect reference photon arrival times of reference photons of the light after the light is reflected within the module. The system may further include a controller configured to determine, based on an output from the reference detector, an instrument response function (IRF) of the module.

A magnetic field generator includes a plurality of conductive windings comprising a first conductive winding arranged in a first plane and a second conductive winding arranged in a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane. The plurality of conductive windings are configured to generate, when supplied with a drive current, a first component of a compensation magnetic field. The first component of the compensation magnetic field is configured to actively shield a magnetic field sensing region located between the first conductive winding and the second conductive winding from ambient background magnetic fields along a first axis that is substantially orthogonal to the first plane and the second plane.
