Abstract

At present, according to various optical and signal processing methods, there are mainly three detection modes in laser radar system: direct detection, heterodyne detection and homodyne detection. A homodyne laser radar system made up of a narrow line-width laser, an amplitude modulator and balanced detector is introduced here. Both transmitted and local oscillator (LO) signals are amplitude modulated by the same chirp signal, and the de-chirping process is completed in the optical domain. When we do signal processing on range and Doppler frequency, we use chirp-z method besides normal Fourier Transform. In this way, we get the experiment data more accurately. The experiment data indicates that the range and velocity precision reaches cm and mm/s dimension which are basically conforming to the theoretical precision.
