Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a number of example embodiments that employ controllable delays between successive ladar pulses in order to discriminate between “own” ladar pulse reflections and “interfering” ladar pulses reflections by a receiver. Example embodiments include designs where a sparse delay sum circuit is used at the receiver and where a funnel filter is used at the receiver. Also, disclosed are techniques for selecting codes to use for the controllable delays as well as techniques for identifying and tracking interfering ladar pulses and their corresponding delay codes. The use of a ladar system with pulse deconfliction is also disclosed as part of an optical data communication system.

Claim (Index 7):
A system comprising:\n a pulse deconfliction circuit configured to process incoming light based on a delay code to classify portions of the incoming light as containing a reflection of an own ladar signal from an own ladar system or corresponding to interference, wherein the own ladar signal comprises a plurality of ladar pulses separated by a delay value corresponding the delay code, and wherein the interference comprises a plurality of interfering ladar signals corresponding to ladar pulses and reflections thereof from one or more other ladar systems that are separated by different delay values corresponding to different delay codes; and a processor configured to (1) detect the interfering ladar signals based on classifications by the pulse deconfliction circuit, (2) extract the different delay codes from the detected interfering ladar signals, and (3) store the extracted different delay codes in memory.
