Abstract:
A system for measuring properties of a medium includes an electromagnetic generator for forming a CW carrier, a digital encoder for forming a digital message, and a modulator for modulating the CW carrier with the digital message to form a digitally modulated CW carrier. The medium provides a channel for propagating the digitally modulated CW carrier. The system further includes a receiver configured to receive the propagated, digitally modulated CW carrier, and a processor for measuring at least one property of the medium. The medium may be disposed within a gaseous atmosphere, a body of water, or a cell of a laboratory.
Abstract:
Remotely sensing a target may include generating a first beam of optical radiation that is modulated at a first frequency and polarized at a first polarization. A second beam of optical radiation that is modulated at a second frequency and polarized at a second polarization may also be generated. The first and second beams of optical radiation may be transmitted to the target. Radiation at the first polarization and radiation at the second polarization may be detected from the target using a phase sensitive technique and the first and second frequencies.
