Abstract:
An optical system ( 100 ) comprising: a transmitter module ( 102 ) configured to transmit a sequence of optical pulses ( 300 ), each optical pulse in the sequence ( 300 ) having a different magnitude to each other optical pulse in the sequence ( 300 ); a receiver module ( 104 ) comprising one or more optical signal detectors, the receiver module ( 104 ) configured to receive the sequence of optical pulses ( 300 ) transmitted by the transmitter module ( 102 ); and one or more processors ( 110 ) configured to process the sequence of optical pulses received by the receiver module ( 104 ) to select an optical pulse from the received sequence of optical pulses ( 400 ) based on one or more predetermined criteria. The one or more predetermined criteria include a criterion that the selected optical pulse does not saturate the one or more optical signal detectors.

Claim (Index 13):
The optical system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n one or more lasers configured to generate an optical signal; a first beam splitter; a second beam splitter; and an optical delay line; wherein\n the one or more lasers are coupled to a first input of the first beam splitter such that the first beam splitter receives an optical signal from the one or more lasers; \n the first beam splitter is configured to split an optical signal received at its first input between a first output of the first beam splitter and a second output of the first beam splitter; \n an input of the second beam splitter is coupled to the first output of the first beam splitter; \n the second beam splitter is configured to split an optical signal received at its input between a first output of the second beam splitter and a second output of the second beam splitter; \n the transmitter module is coupled to the first output of the second beam splitter; \n an input of the optical delay line is coupled to the second output of the second beam splitter; \n an output of the optical delay line is coupled to a second input of the first beam splitter; and \n the first beam splitter is configured to split an optical signal received at its second input between the first output of the first beam splitter and the second output of the first beam splitter.
