Laser ranging diode pulse width
The duration, or pulse width (tL) for laser diodes can range from 10's of nanoseconds (10 9seconds) to 10's of picoseconds (10 12seconds). There are several things to consider with the properties and characteristics of pulsed lasers, such as peak power, average power . This specification translates into a solution that requires 100 W to 200 W of light power and a repetition rate of up to 1 MHz to fill a front facing field of vision (100 o× 25 owith a 0. Improvements in technology and cost-efficiency have opened up new areas of application in automotive, industrial safety scanner. However, the existing research results show difficulties in meeting these requirements. The laser rangefinder based on FMCW is realized by a linear modulation of the frequency of a single mode laser and is able to provide the simultaneous measurement of distance and velocity according to the round trip time and the Doppler.
