  • Method and device for optimizing the use of multiple emitters and a detector in an active remote sensing application
    Patent number: 11754688
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of an optimal arrangement in time and space of nsrc multiple laser emitters and a detector for a remote sensing application, comprising setting a target time unit integration time tp; —translating said time unit integration time into a reduced time ?p and its corresponding power increase factor ??1; —repeating for every emitter k of said plurality of nsrc emitters the steps of: —waiting for a given offset duration toffset,k; —activating both the laser emitter k, with a power output corrected by ??1, and the detector for a duration of ?p; —deactivating said emitter k and detector after duration ?p; —flagging emitter k to be kept off for the subsequent duration toff=tp??p. The invention further relates to a device implementing said method.
