Abstract

An optical analysis system includes an optical filter mechanism disposed to receive light from a light source and configured to optically compress data carried by the light into at least one orthogonal component of the light. A detector mechanism in operative communication with the optical filter mechanism measures a property of the at least one orthogonal component to measure the data.
