Abstract
An optically-encoded mechanical modulation system and an electrical signal extraction algorithm are introduced. The system employs the beam chopping in a highly parallel scheme to impart multiple modulation channels onto the spectrum of a white-light source. The optically-multiplexed beam is directed through an experimental sample, and the absorption of the sample at each of the individual modulation channel wavelengths is resolved. A MATLAB-based parallel frequency-selection algorithm is ultimately used to resolve the signals. The low-noise benefits of optical lock-in detection and the practicality of parallel encoding/extraction are demonstrated in this design.
