Zusammenfassung:A photoplesythmography (PPG) device includes an array of light emitting diodes (LED's) arranged to illuminate a tissue sample, and an array of photodetectors (PD's) adapted to detect light returned from the tissue sample and to output a PD output signal which depends at least in part on a bias current. The PPG device also includes a compensation current source and a controller. The controller is adapted to operate the compensation current source so that the current source outputs the bias current to the photodetector array.
