Claim 11:
12. The optical measurement system of claim 2, wherein:
the component is the photodetector;
the signal generator comprises a light source configured to output a plurality of light pulses;
the directing of the signal generator to apply the signal to the component comprises directing the light source to output the light pulses; and
the photodetector is configured to output a photodetector output pulse each time the photodetector detects a photon from the light pulses;
the TDC is configured to record a timestamp symbol each time the TDC detects an occurrence of the photodetector output pulse;
the generating of the characterization data comprises generating, based on a variation in the timestamp symbols recorded by the TDC, data representative of a characterization of an impulse response function of the photodetector.
