DEMODULATION PIXELS IN CMOS/CCD 123<br />

than be determined <strong>with</strong> the ratio <strong>of</strong> the spot size to the size <strong>of</strong> the photogate.<br />

Additionally it is possible to attenuate the optical power by introducing neutral<br />

density filters into the light path. This is the preferred method <strong>of</strong> changing the light<br />

intensity, since it is fairly fast and highly accurate.<br />

The signals to control the LED-module are TTL signals, generated by a digital<br />

pattern generator (sequencer, c.f. Chapter 6) that also controls the camera board,<br />

especially the demodulation gates PGL and PGR, so that modulation and<br />

demodulation are synchronous.
