  • SPATIAL PROFILING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20260072147
    Abstract: Disclosed is a spatial profiling system for profiling an environment. The spatial profiling system includes a light transmitter for providing light, a beam director for directing the light in one or more directions towards the environment, and a light receiver for receiving return light reflected by a surface or object in the environment. The return light carries information for determining a distance to the surface or object. The light receiver is configured to detect (a) specularity of the return light and (b) polarization state of the return light. The spatial profiling system further includes a processing system configured for determining a material associated with the surface or object based on the detected specularity and the detected polarization state.

  • Optical label switching scheme employing differential phase-shift keying for payloads and intensity modulation for labels using a single optical modulator
    Patent number: 7702246
    Abstract: An optical label-switching method and apparatus in which a payload signal is modulated on an optical carrier through differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) by a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), and a label signal is imposed on the DPSK signal by the same MZM through an optical amplitude change effected by modulating the DPSK drive signal or MZM bias.
