This invention provides a novel scanning
laser wind-measuring
radar, employing a high-stability, narrow-linewidth
semiconductor laser as the transmitting device. A high-speed
optical switch precisely modulates the continuous
laser in the
time domain to generate ideal laser pulses. High-power amplifiers and low-
noise amplifiers are used to enhance the
transmitted power and
echo signal quality, significantly compensating for the decrease in atmospheric echo power and improving range resolution and
wind speed accuracy. The high-stability, narrow-linewidth laser improves the
signal-to-
noise ratio through a triple mechanism of increased coherence efficiency, reduced
background noise, and sharpened
spectral resolution, enabling long-range detection. When using a
transceiver telescope system, it avoids a reduction in the scanning
field of view due to a decrease in
signal-to-
noise ratio. The
semiconductor laser solution is lighter than
fiber lasers, suitable for airborne platforms, and enables miniaturized laser wind-measuring
radar equipment. Furthermore, the high-stability, narrow-linewidth
semiconductor laser used meets temperature and vibration stability requirements, ensuring the long-term reliability of the wind-measuring
radar in field environments.
