The invention discloses a
chaotic modulation VCSEL array-based unmanned vehicle
laser radar device and belongs to the technical field of the application of
laser radars to unmanned vehicles. The device comprises a
signal transmitting module, an
optical path adjustment module, a
signal receiving module and a
data processing module; the
signal transmitting module comprises a driving modulation
system and a VCSEL array; the driving modulation
system emits electric
chaotic signals to modulate lasers in the VCSEL array and sequentially drive the lasers at a certain time interval to emit
chaotic beams; the chaotic beams enter the
optical path adjustment module; adjusted
optical path data are transmitted to the signal receiving module; the signal receiving module finally transmits the data to thedata
processing module; and the
data processing module performs
data processing and then performs operation. According to the
chaotic modulation VCSEL array-based unmanned vehicle
laser radar deviceof the invention, the electric chaotic signals are adopted as reference signals, an optical feedback device and a
beam splitter are not needed to obtain reference light, and therefore, the device is simplified, and the
utilization rate of the beams can be improved; and the
broadband chaotic signals effectively realize anti-interference performance, so that
ranging accuracy is improved.
