Abstract
The optical system is configured to output a system output signal such that a frequency of the system output signal changes in a series of repeated cycles. Each of the cycles includes multiple data periods. The frequency of the system output signal changes at different rates during different data periods. The optical system includes a light-combining component that combines light that returns to the optical system from the system output signal with light from a reference signal so as to generate a beating signal beating at a beat frequency. The system includes electronics that generate frequency change data that indicates a beat frequency change over time. The electronics can apply edge detection criteria and/or outlier detection criteria to the frequency change data.
