  • Patent number: 6850314
    Abstract: A method for determining optical properties of a target, using a plurality of transmitters for transmitting signals at the target, and a plurality of receivers for detecting reflected signals from the target, comprises the steps of: a) transmitting radiation signals with a plurality of wavelengths at the target; b) detecting trace reflected radiation signals from the target; c) modulating the plurality of transmitters with a waveform for generating transmitter modulation codes; d) mixing the transmitter modulation codes with the trace reflected radiation signals to generate total signals; e) transmitting the total signals at the target; f) detecting reflected total signals from the target; g) digitizing the reflected total signals with an analog-digital converter to generate digitized signals; h) integrating the digitized signals with decoding functions to extract individual signals from the total signals; and i) determining the optical properties of the target from the individual signals.
