Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of laser radars, and provides a three-dimensional laser radar based on a liquid crystal on silicon and a scanning method. A transmitting light source and areceiving detector are arranged on one side of a polarization device in a common optical axis mode. A transmitting optical assembly is located on a transmitting optical path between the transmittinglight source and the polarization device. A receiving optical assembly is positioned on a receiving optical path between the receiving detector and the polarization device. A liquid crystal on siliconis arranged on the other side of the polarization device and used for reflecting the emitted light polarized by the polarization device to a to-be-measured target object at a first specified angle and reflecting the received light reflected back from the to-be-measured target object at a second specified angle. According to the invention, different phase distributions are downloaded by using theliquid crystal on silicon to realize two-dimensional measurement of the length and width dimensions of the to-be-measured target, the height dimension of the to-be-measured target is measured throughlaser beams of two polarization states, so that the three-dimensional measurement of the to-be-measured target is realized.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser radar, in particular to a silicon-based liquid crystal-based three-dimensional laser radar and a scanning method. 【Background technique】 [0002] Lidar has long been used in surveying and mapping, military, and navigation. With the rise of auto-driving cars, Lidar has received more widespread attention. LiDAR determines the distance, shape, state and other indicators of the measurement target through the time difference between emitting laser light and receiving reflected laser light. LiDAR mainly has two scanning methods, namely mechanical scanning and non-mechanical scanning. The mechanical scanning method has the advantages of mature technology, simple structure and low cost, and has become the mainstream beam scanning method of current lidar. However, there are also a series of problems in the mechanical scanning method. The size is large, the scanning speed is slow, and the moving parts are...
