  • Summary

    Photon transduction is a fundamental process of any optical detector or image sensor where the basic task is to estimate an average quantity of photons versus time and/or space. We start from basic physical phenomena of the optical transduction considering photon flux as an average quantity, disregarding the quantum mechanics characteristics of a single photon. Then, we investigate the role of noise in the transduction process to better assess design rules in electronic design of interfaces. As in the other transduction chapters, we treat only a very small part of existing optical sensor implementations to serve as examples of the application of the transduction principle.
