Abstract
In a method embodiment, a method includes generating one or more first signals proportional to the position and intensity of photons within a first range of wavelengths and incident on a position sensing pixel of an array of position sensing pixels. The method further includes generating one or more second signals proportional to a number of photons within a second range of wavelengths and incident on an image sensing pixel of an array of image sensing pixels. The array of image sensing pixels is formed monolithically on the array of position sensing pixels.
