研究目的
To implement a pulse-type LADAR system based on heterodyne detection for long-range measurement with high repetition rate, improving receiver sensitivity without the need for a high peak-power laser and a low-noise avalanche photodiode.
研究成果
The proposed pulse-type LADAR system based on heterodyne detection achieves long-range measurement with a high repetition rate, demonstrating potential for real-time 3D imaging with high frame rate for long-range surveillance.
研究不足
The power of the optical LO signal cannot be increased above 8.0 mW due to the limited saturation current of the photodetector, preventing the achievement of a perfect shot-noise-limited condition. The interference efficiency is affected by the loss of the 3-dB fiber coupler and the insertion loss of the balanced detector.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The system uses heterodyne detection with an optical phase-locked loop to generate an optical local oscillator signal.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A continuous-wave optical signal is pulse-modulated and reflected back from targets.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes laser sources, optical switch, erbium-doped fiber amplifier, optical collimator, polarizing beam splitter, quarter-wave plate, free-space to fiber coupler, balanced detector, bandpass filter, and data acquisition board.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The pulse-modulated signal is amplified, emitted, reflected from targets, and combined with the local oscillator signal for heterodyne detection.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The amplitude of the interference signal is extracted using envelope detection, and the propagation delay is calculated for distance measurement.
