    Abstract: An imaging apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a light source that, in operation, emits first pulsed light and second pulsed light, an image sensor that includes at least one pixel including a photodiode, a first charge accumulator and a second charge accumulator, the first charge accumulator and the second charge accumulator, in operation, accumulating signal charge from the photodiode, and a control circuit that, in operation, controls the image sensor. The control circuit, in operation, causes the first charge accumulator to begin to accumulate the signal charge a period of time after the light source begins to emit the first pulsed light. The control circuit, in operation, causes the second charge accumulator to begin to accumulate the signal charge the period of time after the light source begins to emit the second pulsed light.

    Abstract: A measuring device includes: a light source that emits light pulse groups toward a target part of an object, the light pulse groups each including light pulses emitted sequentially; a photodetector that detects at least a part of reflected light pulse groups, the reflected light pulse groups each including reflected light pulses sequentially returning from the target part; and a control circuit that controls the light source and the photodetector. The control circuit causes the light source to emit the light pulse groups and causes the photodetector to extract a component of light included in a last reflected light pulse of the reflected light pulses included in each of the reflected light pulse groups during a falling period and output an electric signal corresponding to the component of light.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a light source that emits pulsed light, a reflective encoding device, and an image sensor. The reflective encoding device includes first and second films each having light-transmitting property and light-reflecting property and a modulator disposed between the first and second films. The modulator includes modulation regions arrayed in one plane intersecting an optical path of the pulsed light and each modulating at least one of a degree of polarization, a phase, and an intensity of incident light. The image sensor receives light from a target and outputs one or more electric signals representing an image of the target on the basis of the light from the target. The reflective encoding device allows the pulsed light to undergo multiple reflection between the first and second films and allows a portion of the pulsed light to be emitted through the second film in multiple instances.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a light source that includes a diffusion plate and, in operation, emits, toward a subject, pulsed light that diverges; a photodetector that includes a photoelectric converter that, in operation, receives light from the subject and converts the light to an electric charge and an electric charge accumulator that, in operation, accumulates the electric charge, and, in operation, generates an electric signal based on the accumulated electric charge; and a control circuit that, in operation, controls the light source and the photodetector. The control circuit, in operation, causes the electric charge accumulator to start accumulating the electric charge when a period of time has passed after the control circuit has caused the light source to start emitting the pulsed light, and causes the electric charge accumulator to accumulate the electric charge corresponding to a component, among the light from the subject, that is scattered inside the subject.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a first coding element that includes regions arrayed two-dimensionally in an optical path of light incident from an object, and an image sensor. Each of the regions includes first and second regions. A wavelength distribution of an optical transmittance of the first region has a maximum in each of first and second wavelength bands, and a wavelength distribution of an optical transmittance of the second region has a maximum in each of third and fourth wavelength bands. At least one selected from the group of the first and second wavelength bands differs from the third and fourth wavelength bands. The image sensor acquires an image in which components of the first, second, third and fourth wavelength bands of the light that has passed through the first coding element are superimposed on one another.
