Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. The optical system of claim 1, wherein the at least one optical device is a first optical device and a second optical device, the at least one optical transducer is a first optical transducer and a second optical transducer, the at least one electronic device is a first read-out-integrated-circuit (ROIC) and a second ROIC,
wherein the first optical device is configured to receive the optical signal,
wherein the first optical transducer is configured to receive the optical signal from the first optical device and convert the optical signal to a first electrical signal,
wherein the first ROIC is configured to receive the first electrical signal and process the first electrical signal,
wherein the second optical device is configured to receive the optical signal,
wherein the second optical transducer is configured to receive the optical signal from the second optical device and convert the optical signal to a second electrical signal,
wherein the second ROIC is configured to receive the second electrical signal and process the second electrical signal,, and further comprising:
an error criteria function block configured to provide error criteria concerning the processed first electrical signal and the processed second electrical signal; and
a comparator configured to receive the error criteria, the processed first electrical signal, and the processed second electrical signal; determine if an error occurred in one of the processed first electrical signal and the processed second electrical signal; if no error occurred, output at least one of the processed first electrical signal and the processed second electrical signal; and if an error occurred, output an error flag and a function of the processed first electrical signal and the processed second electrical signal that is determined to be error free.
