Abstract

Lidar apparatus includes a light source having a source frequency, an electrical signal generator configured to generate a digitally-coded electrical signal, a modulator configured to impress the digitally-coded signal onto a light beam emitted by the light source, and to convert the digitally-coded output beam of the light source into a multi-dimensional modulated output beam, transmitter optics configured to propagate the multi-dimensional beam toward a target, receiver optics configured to receive the multi-dimensional beam as reflected by the target, an optical demodulator configured to demodulate the reflected multi-dimensional beam, electro-optical conversion circuitry configured to output an electrical signal representing the received reflected multi-dimensional beam, and digital signal processing circuitry configured to compare the electrical signal representing the received reflected multi-dimensional beam to the digitally-coded signal to determine at least one of (a) range, and (b) velocity, of the target.
