Improved long distance range-gated laser imaging system

Abstract

The existing laser remote range-gated imaging system in China is large, expensive and impractical. To achieve long distance imaging, the high-power laser, high-power laser pulse drive, optical system and field synchronisation control are improved in this paper. The improved system is lightweight, easy to use and has a small volume. Experimental results show that the system can clearly map the target at 6 km far away and has a good adaptive adjustment function.
