Embodiment Construction

[0043] It can be seen from the background art that the tunable laser in the prior art has the problem that it is difficult to meet the requirements of the lidar.

[0044] Specifically, for example, in automatic driving and unmanned driving, first of all, it is hoped that the detection distance of the lidar is far enough (for example, in the case of a reflectivity of 10%, the detection distance reaches 300m), then the laser needs to have high peak power and large pulse Second, if you want to obtain a denser point cloud to accurately identify pedestrians, vehicles, etc., you need a laser with a high repetition rate; after that, you want to reduce the design difficulty of the scanning mirror (the design difficulty of a one-dimensional scanning mirror is much lower than that of a two-dimensional scanning mirror. ), if a one-dimensional scanning mirror is used instead of a two-dimensional scanning mirror, the laser needs to be able to be tuned quickly, and combined with a splitting ...

Abstract

The invention provides a laser device and a laser radar. The laser device comprises a pump unit, a gain unit, a Q-switching unit, and a beam splitting unit disposed in sequence along an optical axis.The pump unit generates pump light. The gain unit includes a gain medium. The Q-switching unit includes a saturable absorber. The beam splitting unit generates exiting laser and a plurality of tuninglight of different wavelengths. The laser device also comprises a resonant reflecting surface and a scanning unit, the resonant reflecting surface is located between the gain unit and the pump unit, and the scanning unit selects one piece of tuning light from the plurality of tuning light and returns the selected tuning light according to an original optical path. The laser device is a tunable laser device capable of realizing Q-switching, higher peak power and larger pulse energy can be obtained, the cavity length of a resonant cavity and the volume of the resonant cavity can be effectively reduced, and the realization of the consideration of both high integration and high peak power is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser detection, in particular to a laser and a laser radar. Background technique [0002] Tunable laser refers to a laser that can continuously change the laser output wavelength within a certain range. Such lasers are versatile and can be used in spectroscopy, photochemistry, medicine, biology, integrated optics, optical communications, and more. Current tunable solid-state lasers mainly use split structures and birefringent filters or etalons as intracavity tuning elements to achieve wavelength tuning. For example, US5317447 uses birefringent plates combined with active Q-switching to realize tunable pulsed lasers. For example, US5623510 uses etalon as a tuning element. [0003] Lidar is a commonly used ranging sensor, which has the characteristics of long detection distance, high resolution, and low environmental interference. It is widely used in intelligent robots, drones, unmanned driving and other fields....
