#Pseudo background electrons (floor noise): 30’000<br />

Modulation depth <strong>of</strong> the LEDs Cmod: 1<br />

Demodulation contrast Cdemod: 0.4<br />

“L” (Non-ambiguity <strong>distance</strong> range):<br />

750cm<br />

Optical mean power in fW: 9150 2500 750 200 50<br />

Resulting #photoelectrons PEopt: 235000 64000 19000 5100 1300<br />

Sigma in cm (theory): 0.7 1.6 3.9 12.2 45.1<br />

Sigma in cm (measured): 1.6 1.6 3.8 13.1 55.3<br />

These results are also plotted in the following graph and referenced in<br />

total 50 ms.)<br />

This excellent fit between <strong>measurement</strong> and theory confirms the validity <strong>of</strong><br />

Equation 4.16, which gives us the possibility to predict the range accuracy for<br />

given <strong>measurement</strong> conditions.
