Abstract

Zero bias retinomorphic sensors (ZBRSs) are a new type of optical sensor which produce a signal in response to changes in light intensity, but not to constant illumination. For this reason, they are hoped to enable much faster identification of moving objects than conventional sensing strategies. While recent proof-of-principle experimental demonstrations are significant, there does not yet exist a robust quantitative model for their behaviour, which represents an impediment for effective progress to be made in this field. Here I report a mathematical framework to quantify and predict the behaviour of ZRBSs. A simple device-level model and a more detailed carrier-dynamics model are derived. Both models are tested computationally, yielding equivalent behaviour consistent with experimental observations. A figure of merit, Λ_0, was identified which is hoped to enable facile comparison of devices between different research groups. This work is hoped to serve as the foundation for a consistent description of ZBRSs.
