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? -- #undef .sig
