Abstract
An investigative system, comprising: an emitter, said emitter being adapted to output a plurality of pulses, said plurality of pulses being arranged in a first temporal pattern; a receiver adapted to receive said plurality of pulses; and a correlator adapted to correlate the first pattern with the received plurality of pulses to output a correlated pattern.
Claims20
An investigative system, comprising:
- an emitter configured to output a plurality of pulses, said plurality of pulses being arranged in a first temporal pattern;
- a receiver configured to receive said plurality of pulses and generate a digital output pattern, wherein the digital output pattern is binary and includes a uniform positive output when a photon or photons are detected;
- and
- a correlator configured to correlate the first temporal pattern with the digital output pattern to output a correlated pattern.
