Abstract
A method includes actuating a laser diode to emit a first series of laser pulses in a first frequency, enabling ap single-photon-avalanche diode (SPAD) in a pixel of a focal-plane array to detect a photon during a first series of enable times defined by a first series of enable pulses in a second frequency greater than the first frequency, and updating a histogram memory based on a photon detected during the first series of enable times.
