In this article, we describe the design rationale and performance features of an integrated multichannel continuous wave (cw) near-infrared (NIR) optical tomographic imager capable of collecting fast tomographic measurements over a large dynamic range. Fast data collection (similar to70 Hz/channel/wavelength) is achieved using time multiplexed source illumination (up to 25 illumination sites) combined with frequency encoded wavelength discrimination (up to four-wavelength capability) and parallel detection (32 detectors). The described system features a computerized user interface that allows for automated system operation and is compatible with various previously described measuring heads. The results presented show that the system exhibits a linear response over the full dynamic measuring range (180 dB), and has excellent noise (similar to10 pW noise equivalent power) and stability performance (
