  • Publication number: 20260177702
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are described that produce improved images and improved knowledge of object characteristics, and enable acquisition of two- or three-dimensional images through dynamic scattering media, such as living (moving) tissue, turbid fluids, or fog. One method for time-of-flight sensing includes illuminating the object with a laser having at least two spectrally-separated components, and simultaneously receiving at a detector: a first reference beam consisting of the first spectral component, a second reference beam consisting of the second spectral component, and an object beam. The first or the second reference beams produce a first combination of the first reference beam and the object beam with a non-overlapping spectral content with respect to a second combination of the second reference beam and the object beam. The method also includes determining a field value, an image, a phase value or a depth profile for the object based on the detected signals.
