| 1. An image sensor array comprising:
a plurality of pixel structures, at least one pixel structure including:
a photosensitive element for generating a signal in response to electromagnetic radiation, the signal including phase information;
and
a phase integrator, coupled to the photosensitive element, for integrating the phase information of the signal provided by
the photosensitive element over an exposure time period that is determined in response to an integrated value of the phase
information; and
wherein at least one pixel structure is adapted to avoid saturation when the signals from the photosensitive element are large.
