Abstract:
In interferometer imaging signal acquisition using a movable optical beam to sample a target with specular or non specular reflecting surfaces or internal features, beam moving during interferometer signal acquisition can generate unwanted phase error due to shifting speckle field. Examples include coherent LIDAR, Interferometry Doppler sensing and optical coherence tomography. During an interferometer signal acquisition period, an interferometer sensing beam can be substantially stationary, and active step-scanning can be synchronized with interferometer signal acquisition cycles. For interferometers using repetitive chirping lasers, passive dispersive counter-scan mechanisms can be used to assist step-scanning operation.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 9  is configured as an interferometer and further comprises:\n a first beamsplitter splitting wherein said first chirped laser component, with the output beams comprising a first reference laser beam and wherein said first sensing laser beam; \n a transmitting aperture transmitting the first sensing laser beam out of the apparatus after the dispersive beam moving and the beam scanning, and projecting a beam spot at a target location; \n a first receiving aperture collecting a first feedback beam from the target location; \n a first beam combining device combining at least a portion of the first reference laser beam and at least a portion of the first feedback beam to form a first interferometer signal;
