Abstract:
1. A sensing apparatus comprising: a broadband optical source; a first pseudorandom number generator generating a first pseudorandom number code string to modulate the broadband optical source; at least one sensor reflecting an output of the first pseudorandom number generator at a wavelength corresponding to a center wavelength thereof when the output of the first pseudorandom number generator is inputted; a wavelength-time converter converting an output of the sensor by wavelength-time conversion; a second pseudorandom number generator generating a second pseudorandom number code string which is different in frequency from and is the same in bit length and code string as the first pseudorandom number code string; a mixer mixing an output signal of the wavelength-time converter with an output signal of the second pseudorandom number generator; and an integrator integrating an output of the mixer.
