  • Systems, devices, and/or methods for encoded time of flight light detection and ranging
    Patent number: 10859700
    Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide an instrument comprising a signal generator. The signal generator is constructed to generate a temporally distinct profile of LIDAR pulses and a reference signal. The instrument comprises a light source coupled to the signal generator. The light source constructed to receive the temporally distinct profile of LIDAR pulses and output corresponding light pulses with temporal spacing substantially equal to those of temporally distinct profile.
