Modified range equation for exact modeling and design optimization of active laser remote sensing systems

摘要

An exact modeling for laser target illumination and electro-optic detection parameters used in most common laser remote sensing systems, such as laser microphones, LiDARs, laser range finders, laser spot tracking, laser designation, stand-off laser spectroscopy (Raman, LIBS, LIF,...), laser imaging of remote targets and all laser transceiver system having a laser source and an electro-optical detection measure in one assembly. The model makes possible to embed most basic parameters in one equation to ease the design of the main system components from engineering point of view, instead of the currently used general models. The resulting equation corrects calculations for short standoff target detection parameters.
