Alongside our CFSRP waveguide architecture, SciPhAi can operate in a pulsed-only illumination mode — a mechanically elegant approach where the time-of-flight measurement itself encodes both range and pointing direction simultaneously.
A pencil beam orbits a circular aperture, firing ultra-short laser pulses at each angular position. Because the system records precisely when each pulse was emitted and from which orbital angle, the returning photon arrival time carries both the distance to the reflecting surface and the absolute pointing direction — with no frequency modulation required.
The two modes — CFSRP (frequency-steered) and pulsed (time-steered) — are complementary. CFSRP delivers continuous-wave coherent detection for Doppler velocity and fine range; pulsed mode offers a clean ToF path with a simplified receiver, trading chirp bandwidth for architectural simplicity. SciPhAi selects or blends both depending on the sensing requirement.
