Problems solved by technology

[0003] The invention aims to solve the problems that the traditional pseudo-random coded photon counting laser radar is limited by expensive signal generators, and is affected by the dead time of the detector, the ranging performance is poor, the practicability is not high, and the engineering application is difficult. For the first time, the Geiger As a true random signal generator, the mode avalanche photodetector not only reduces the cost and reduces the cost, but more importantly, the interval between any two '1' symbols generated by the Geiger mode photodetector is greater than that of the detector Dead time, therefore, cleverly solves the problem of poor ranging performance of traditional pseudo-randomly coded photon counting lidars affected by detector dead time

[0020] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and the photon counting lidar with random codes described in Embodiment 1 is that the specific process of generating the real machine code sequence is as follows:

[0021] When the first Geiger mode avalanche photodiode 1 is energized, due to the thermal noise of the detector itself, there will be pulses even in the case of a dark room, which is called dark count, and the number of dark counts is the same as that of the first Geiger mode avalanche The operating temperature of the photodiode is dependent. At the same time, the first Geiger mode avalanche photodiode 1 also responds to the incident background light. Through the response to dark noise and background light noise, the final periodic output pulse random sequence. The periodic output of the pulse sequence is mainly realized by adding a gating circuit to the first Geiger mode avalanche photodiode 1. The high level of the first Geiger mode avalanche photodiode...

Abstract

The invention discloses a photon counting laser radar based on true random coding, and belongs to the technical field of the laser radar. The true random coding greatly reduces the system volume and cost and overcomes the influence on the system ranging performance by the detector dead time while reserving the advantage that the traditional pseudo random coding photon counting laser radar system is low in transmitting power, fast in imaging speed and capable of overcoming distance ambiguity, and the true random coding photon counting laser radar system has extremely high crosstalk-resisting capacity. The radar mainly comprises two avalanche photodiodes in Geiger model, a pulse shaping circuit, a laser device, an optical system, an external clock, a photon counting module, and a signal processing module. The traditional signal generator is replaced with the single-photon detector, the practical value of the system is greatly improved, and the laser radar is extensively applied to the target ranging and imaging field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser radar, in particular to a photon counting laser radar based on true random coding. Background technique [0002] The truly random coded photon counting lidar uses a Geiger mode avalanche photodiode as a detector, which has single photon detection capability and can measure long-distance weak signal targets. It can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the radar signal. On the other hand, the target distance can be obtained in one detection without multiple accumulations, which greatly reduces the imaging time and can detect high-dynamic targets. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of scientific researchers and has become Research hotspots in the field of lidar. However, the photon counting laser radar system of the common coding method uses a signal generator to generate the required coding signal, and this method has two disadvantages. First of all, the symbol width corresponding to the requ...
