Claim 19:
20. A LIDAR system, comprising:
one or more optical components that concurrently output multiple system output signals from the LIDAR system, each of the system output signals carrying a different wavelength channel,
each of the system output signals has a frequency versus time pattern that includes multiple repeated cycles, the cycles each including multiple different data periods where a rate of frequency change of the system output signals is constant in the data period, and the system outputs signals each having a different rate and/or direction of frequency change in different data periods;

electronics that use light from the system output signals to generate LIDAR data, the LIDAR data indicating a distance and/or radial velocity between the LIDAR system and one or more objects located outside of the LIDAR system;
the electronics including a series processing component that processes electrical signals that are each generated from one of the system output signals, the series processing component processes the electrical signals generated from different system output signals in series.
