This work presents a method of structured light ranging that utilizes a relative phase modulation between two orthogonal beams. Application of a linear frequency modulated (LFM) signal in the relative phase between two Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) states within a coherently coupled OAM (CCOAM) beam provides a ranging technique that achieves 21.7 mm resolution and removes the need for optical mixing. Results are provided for different distances, distributed targets, and estimation of target velocity.
