Abstract: The source light having a range of optical wavelengths is split into sample light and reference light. The sample light is delivered into a sample, such that the sample light is scattered by the sample, resulting in signal light that exits the sample. The signal light and the reference light are combined into an interference light pattern having optical modes having oscillation frequency components respectively corresponding to optical pathlengths extending through the sample. Different sets of the optical modes of the interference light pattern are respectively detected, and high-bandwidth analog signals representative of the optical modes of the interference light pattern are output. The high-bandwidth analog signals are parallel processed, and mid-bandwidth digital signals are output. The mid-bandwidth digital signals are processed over an i number of iterations, and a plurality of low-bandwidth digital signals are output on the ith iteration. The sample is analyzed based on the low-bandwidth digital signals.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes a photodetector configured to generate a photodetector output pulse when the photodetector detects a photon from a light pulse having a light pulse time period, a TDC configured to monitor for the occurrence of the photodetector output pulse during a measurement time window that is within and shorter in duration than the light pulse time period, a PLL circuit for the TDC, and a precision timing circuit connected to the PLL circuit and configured to adjust, based on at least one signal generated within the PLL circuit, a temporal position of the measurement time window within the light pulse time period.

Abstract: An illustrative system includes a wearable assembly configured to be worn by a user and comprising a first detector configured to detect a first set of photon arrival times and output a first signal representative of the first set of photon arrival times, and a second detector configured to detect a second set of photon arrival times and output a second signal representative of the second set of photon arrival times. The system further includes a processing unit configured to identify a first intensity change in the first signal, identify a second intensity change in the second signal, determine that the first and second intensity changes are time correlated, and determine, based on the determining that the first and second intensity changes are time correlated, that the first and second intensity changes are representative of a motion artifact caused by movement of the user.

Abstract: A wearable module for use in an optical measurement system includes a housing including a top surface, a light guide including a distal end portion adapted to protrude from the top surface of the housing, and a spring member configured to bias the distal end portion of the light guide away from the top surface of the housing. The light guide is configured to receive, at the distal end portion, photons from a light pulse scattered by a target within a body of a user and guide the received photons toward a photodetector.
