Abstract
An exemplary photodetector system includes a plurality of photodetectors connected in parallel and a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of photodetectors. The processor is configured to receive an accumulated output from the plurality of photodetectors. The accumulated output represents an accumulation of respective outputs from each of the plurality of photodetectors detecting photons during a predetermined measurement time period that occurs in response to a light pulse being directed toward a target within a body. The processor is further configured to determine, based on the accumulated output, a temporal distribution of photons detected by the plurality of photodetectors, and generate, based on the temporal distribution of photons, a histogram representing a light pulse response of the target within the body.
