Abstract:
An apparatus including a semiconductor substrate; an absorption layer coupled to the semiconductor substrate, the absorption layer including a photodiode region configured to absorb photons and to generate photo-carriers from the absorbed photons; one or more first switches controlled by a first control signal, the one or more first switches configured to collect at least a portion of the photo-carriers based on the first control signal; and one or more second switches controlled by a second control signal, the one or more second switches configured to collect at least a portion of the photo-carriers based on the second control signal, where the second control signal is different from the first control signal.

Claim (Index 4):
The time-of-flight system of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the light source is configured, during operation, to emit optical pulses having a duty cycle less than 50%, wherein, during operation, the one or more first switches receive electrical pulses from the first control signal having a demodulation duty cycle that is the same as the duty cycle of the optical pulses, and wherein, during operation, the one or more second switches receive electrical pulses from the second control signal having a demodulation duty cycles that is a reverse of the duty cycle of the optical pulses.
