- Perhaps it may be easier than you think. All we'll need is the expected
- modulating frequency of the laser and then send back a much more intense
- bandswept signal to drown out the reflection. Sorta like trying to
- stargaze during the noonday sun. Does anyone really have the hard spec's on
- the wavelength involved and what IR leds would come close to that spec?
