Claim 0:
1. A device comprising:
a substrate defining a primary plane;
an aperture array comprising an at least one aperture defining an optical axis;
a plurality of photodetector cells disposed along the primary plane, wherein the plurality of photodetector cells comprises at least one large-area cell and at least one small-area cell, wherein the large-area cell has a first area and the small-area cell has a second area, and wherein the at least one large-area cell is substantially centered along the substrate with respect to the optical axis; and
read out circuitry coupled to the plurality of photodetector cells, wherein the read out circuitry is configured to provide an output signal based on incident light detected by the plurality of photodetector cells.
