A square root analog to digital converter to optimally convert photonic signals for computed tomography
… number of photons received. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a square root transfer function can quantize photonic signals with LSB size kept constant with respect to the photon shot noise. In imaging applications, this can greatly reduce the number of bits needed to characterize a signal …
