DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0034] To facilitate understanding, the following explanation is given.
[0035] In related technologies, laser ranging systems are classified by optical path into two types: off-axis and coaxial. The difference between coaxial and off-axis optical paths lies in whether the transmitting and receiving optical axes are coaxial. Current laser ranging gun sights all use off-axis optical path systems. In off-axis optical path systems for ranging and aiming, the transmitting and aiming systems are separate. The transmitting system consists of a laser transmitting module, a window lens, and a transmitting channel. The receiving system consists of an optical focusing lens, a filter, a receiving channel, and an avalanche diode. The laser module, consisting of a semiconductor laser diode, an optical collimating lens, and a copper sleeve, is responsible for emitting the collimated and shaped laser beam. The distance measurement and aiming off-axis optical path system described above uses a laser module to emit a collimated and shaped laser beam, typically 905nm or 940nm infrared light. After passing through air or other media, it hits the target. The laser light diffusely reflected by the target is collected by the optical lens of the receiving system and focused on the photosensitive surface of the photodetector. Because the received light not only contains the emitted beam, but also stray light from other bands, it is necessary to filter out the unwanted stray light through a filter to retain only the light of the required band. When the photodetector, also known as the avalanche tube, senses the photon, it generates an avalanche phenomenon, converting the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the computing terminal.
