Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a LIDAR system configured to output a system output signal and to receive a system return signal,
the system return signal including light that was included in the system output signal and that was reflected by an object located outside of the LIDAR system,
the system output signal including a contribution from a LIDAR signal and a synchronization signal,
the contribution from LIDAR signal and the contribution from the synchronization signal being at different wavelengths, and

a time delay occurring between the light being output from the LIDAR system and returning to the LIDAR system; and

electronics configured to generate LIDAR data from a portion of the system return signal that returns to the LIDAR system during a data window,
the electronics tuning a duration of the data window in response to the amount of the time delay, and
the LIDAR data indicates a radial velocity and/or distance between the LIDAR system and the object.
