Drone Demonstrator Phase of a Photon Counting Pulse Train Lidar through the Use of Diodes Lasers

Le résumé fourni par la source

Current satellite lidars have sparse spatial coverage which is prohibitive for many applications requiring continuous coverage. These use solid-state lasers which are bulky and have a low efficiency. Emerging high power and high brightness diode laser technology alongside single photon detectors provide a means of reaching continuous coverage of a lidar system whilst reducing weight, complexity and cost. In this work, we demonstrate by developing a drone demonstrator that a pulse train diode laser lidar can be robust to noise and provide enough energy for an in-orbit system.
