Problems solved by technology

[0003] The current laser radar mostly adopts mechanical beam guidance, that is, two-way servo control system is used to control the radar bracket or mirror to make two-dimensional movement of azimuth and pitch. The response speed and control accuracy of the mechanical deflection method are difficult to meet the requirements of high-performance laser radar. And because it is inertial scanning, the flexibility is greatly limited

The sub-microarc level scanning accuracy usually required by the system is difficult to achieve with the existing mechanical beam guidance system
