Abstract: A system comprises at a first interface, a first optical guide, a second interface, and a second optical guide. A portion of the first interface is configured to receive a first pulse of light emitted by a lidar device and a portion of the second interface is configured to receive a second pulse of light emitted by the lidar device. The first optical guide is configured to propagate the received first pulse of light, wherein at least a portion of the first interface is configured to emit towards the lidar device a version of the received first pulse that propagated through the first optical guide. The second optical guide is configured to propagate the received second pulse of light, wherein at least a portion of the second interface is configured to emit towards the lidar device a version of the received second pulse that propagated through the second optical guide.

Abstract: A system comprises an interface and an optical network. The interface is configured to receive a pulse of light emitted by a lidar device and the optical network is configured to provide a particular temporal delay of one or more different temporal delays to the received pulse of light. The system is configured to direct the temporal delayed pulse to the lidar device.
