Patent number: 12135212Abstract: Through discrimination of the scattered signal polarization state, a lidar system measures a distance through semi-transparent media by the reception of single or multiple scattered signals from a scattering medium. Combined and overlapped single or multiple scattered light signals from the medium can be separated by exploiting varying polarization characteristics. This removes the traditional laser and detector pulse width limitations that determine the system's operational bandwidth, translating relative depth measurements into the conditions of two surface timing measurements and achieving sub-pulse width resolution.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignees: The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporate, LiteWave Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey P. Thayer, Geoffrey Crowley, Andrew W. Gisler, Steven Mitchell, Matthew Hayman
