[0033] Specific implementation process: first, the drive circuit board 101, as the core control part of the whole laser emission system, it is responsible for coordinating and controlling the work of each related component, the various elements installed on it work together to realize the emission and related control functions of laser, DA control 102, digital analog control DA control element on the drive circuit board, mainly responsible for converting digital signals into analog signals, in the pulse laser range finder, it may participate in the accurate control of laser emission parameters such as emission power, pulse frequency, etc., by receiving digital instructions from other control units, it converts them into appropriate analog signals, and then adjusts the related characteristics of laser emission to meet different ranging needs, drive signal 103, provides the necessary driving energy signal for laser emission, after being processed by the relevant circuit on the drive circuit board, it can drive the laser to emit pulsed laser according to the predetermined requirements, its characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, pulse width, etc. directly affect the emission state of the laser, thereby affecting the accuracy, distance range, etc. of the ranging, power supply interface 104, is the entrance for the whole drive circuit board and each component connected to it to obtain electrical energy, it receives the electrical energy provided by the external power supply and distributes it to each element on the drive circuit board that needs power supply, such as DA control, drive signal generation circuit and subsequent drive chip, etc., to ensure that each element can work normally and provide stable power support for laser emission, drive chip 105, integrated at the upper end of the drive circuit board, is the key chip for controlling the operation of the laser, which can accurately control the working state of the laser according to the received analog signals converted from the DA control and other related control signals, including adjusting the emission power, pulse frequency, pulse width and other parameters of the laser. Through fine adjustment of these parameters, the optimization of laser emission is realized to adapt to different ranging scenarios and target characteristics, laser positive 106 and laser negative 107 are connected at one end of the drive circuit board, respectively, they are directly connected with the laser, forming the power supply circuit of the laser. When the power supply enters the drive circuit board through the power supply interface, and is processed by the drive chip and other related elements, appropriate electrical energy is transmitted to the laser through the laser positive and negative, providing the energy for the laser to work normally and emit pulsed laser, heat conducting component 2, lower ceramic sheet 201, fixedly connected at the lower end of the drive circuit board 101, mainly plays the role of heat conduction. In the process of laser emission, some elements on the drive circuit board such as the drive chip will generate heat, the lower ceramic sheet can quickly conduct these heat away to prevent the elements from being damaged or degraded due to overheating.
