Abstract
An optical control system is described which provides for more efficient operation of an optical device. The system is operable to provide an integrated output from the detection system. Accordingly, by controlling the operating time of the detection system of the optical device it is possible to match the dynamic range of the integrated output to the operational input range of an ADC means to provide a digital output value, thereby minimizing the quantization noise of the ADC means.
