Abstract
Techniques for minimizing power consumption in photodetector measurements are provided. The techniques utilize a method for controlling a photodetector, including the steps of receiving, by a system comprising memory and one or more processors, a target value of the photodetector, receiving, by the system, an output from the photodetector, and processing, by a neural network of the system, the output from the photodetector. The neural network outputs a health signal and, based at least on the health signal and the target value, the system generates a bias signal and applies the bias signal to the photodetector to drive the photodetector to the target value.
Claims20
A method for controlling a photodetector, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a system comprising memory and one or more processors, a target value of the photodetector;
- receiving, by the system, an output from the photodetector;
- processing, by a neural network of the system, the output from the photodetector;
- outputting, by the neural network, a health signal;
- generating, by the system and based at least on the health signal and the target value, a bias signal;
- and
- applying, by the system, the bias signal to the photodetector to drive the photodetector to the target value.
A system for controlling a photodetector, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one memory, coupled to the one or more processors, and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- receive a target value of the photodetector;
- receive an output from the photodetector;
- process, by a neural network of the system, the output from the photodetector;
- output, by the neural network, a health signal;
- generate, based at least on the health signal and the target value, a bias signal;
- and
- apply the bias signal to the photodetector to drive the photodetector to the target value.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a system to control a photodetector by:
- receiving a target value of the photodetector;
- receiving an output from the photodetector;
- processing, by a neural network of the system, the output from the photodetector;
- outputting, by the neural network, a health signal;
- generating, based at least on the health signal and the target value, a bias signal;
- and
- applying the bias signal to the photodetector to drive the photodetector to the target value.
