A 15um CAPD Time-of-Flight pixel with 80% modulation contrast at 100MHz

چکیده
Results of a 15um Current Assisted Photonic Demodulator (CAPD) pixel showing 80% modulation contrast at a modulation frequency of 100 MHz are presented. This allows to build 3D Time-of-Flight camera systems with either reduced depth noise or reduced modulated light power needs. A performance comparison with the DS325 unchanged, versus one with the modulation frequency and contrast improved, shows an overall 3 times lower sigma depth versus power ratio.

Time-of-flight Optical Ranging Sensor Based on a Current Assisted Photonic Demodulator
The presented optical ranging sensor utilizes a current assisted photonic demodulator (CAPD) in combination with an integrating circuit to measure time-of-flight. The distance information is obtained by correlating received modulated light with the sentout signal. Simulations and measurements show that the structure is suitable as a pixel in a real-time 3D-camera setup. A CMOS prototype is pres...
متن کاملA High QE, Fast Shuttered CMOS Image Sensor with a Vertical Overflow Drain Shutter Mechanism
This paper presents a prototype CMOS image sensor with a fast global shutter based on the Vertical Overflow Drain (VOD) shutter mechanism. The imager presents several novel features: First, the adaptation of the VOD shutter mechanism previously used exclusively in CCDs into a 0.18-μm CMOS image sensor process. Second, the application of the VOD shutter for purposes of fast gating with several n...
متن کاملDark Current Suppression during High Speed Photogate Modulation for 3D ToF Imaging Pixel
A pair of photogates is employed as a high frequency demodulation pixel for three dimensional time-of-flight image sensor. Using a 192×108 array of the pixels, demodulation contrast above 50% is achieved at 20MHz frequency and the test chip exhibits distance error less than 1% up to 7 m detection of the object. Modulation frequency dependent behavior of dark current is observed: dark current is...
متن کاملCharacterization of modulated time-of-flight range image sensors
A number of full field image sensors have been developed that are capable of simultaneously measuring intensity and distance (range) for every pixel in a given scene using an indirect time-of-flight measurement technique. A light source is intensity modulated at a frequency between 10–100 MHz, and an image sensor is modulated at the same frequency, synchronously sampling light reflected from ob...
متن کاملA 192×108 pixel ToF-3D image sensor with single-tap concentric-gate demodulation pixels in 0.13 μm technology
A single-tap concentric photogate pixel of 28 μm pitch is developed for application to time-of-flight (ToF) three dimension (3D) image sensors. The 198×108 ToF pixel array exhibits demodulation contrast higher than 50% and distance error less than 1%, over 1 to 7 m range using 20MHz modulation of 850 nm light emitting diode (LED) illumination.
