Abstract
A pulsed photoemitter circuit may be arranged to expose a pulsed photodetector circuit. Both the photoemitter and the photodetector circuits may be exposed to a pulsed signal which may be effective to improve the response time of the photoemitter/detector pair. In one embodiment of the present invention, the phototransistor load is coupled to a photoemitter control signal.
