Furthermore, the model of the differential comparator 15 can be selected as ADCMP604, the bidirectional regulator D can be selected as not soldered, the resistance of the ninth resistor R9 is preferably 44.9 Ω, the resistance of the eighth resistor R8 is preferably 0 Ω, the sixth capacitor C6 is preferably not soldered, and the sixth capacitor C6 is provided for filtering and is not soldered in general.

Each channel of the FPGA chip corresponds to the photoelectric detector at the front end one by one, and monitoring is carried out all the time, and the arrival time of effective signals is recorded. The principle of the channel level state monitoring algorithm is as follows: the high-low signal transmitted by the differential comparator 15 corresponds to two pins of the FPGA chip, and when the pin corresponds to the positive input end of the differential comparator 15 and is at a high level and the negative input end is at a low level, the corresponding channel is considered to be valid, and valid acquisition is performed.

By using a time frequency stability of 10-9The high-precision time reference ensures the precision of each recording moment and can meet the application requirement of flash detection on the ballistic target.
Preferably, the acquisition board 5 waits for an external trigger signal sent by the upper computer 7, and starts timing monitoring or real-time monitoring after receiving the external trigger signal.

s1, correspondingly arranging each laser light-receiving head of the receiving array at the light-emitting port of each pulse laser;
s2, measuring and recording the flash time of each pulse laser.
Preferably, step S1 further includes setting a comparison threshold voltage according to the oscilloscope detected amplitude voltage corresponding to the single pulse laser, where the comparison threshold voltage is not less than 2/3 of the oscilloscope detected amplitude voltage corresponding to the single pulse laser.
Further, step S2 includes that three signal acquisitions can be performed for each acquisition channel, so as to record the time information of the last three flashes of the corresponding pulse laser.
The light-emitting principle of the (high-power pump) pulse laser is that the Q-switched light is turned on first and then is switched on, and the Q-switched light is laser. The white light is generated during lighting, and the switch is turned on during Q-switching to release the laser to generate laser beam, so that the photoelectric detector usually detects two light pulses, and the time difference between the two light pulses is a fixed value. For the first white light pulse, the light pulse can be reduced by adding a light filter or an attenuation sheet and the like on the light path, but in the invention, the generation moments of the two light pulses can be collected and recorded by directly capturing three times of flash signals, and even if the light filter or the attenuation sheet is added, effective Q-switched laser beam signals can be collected. Meanwhile, the reason for leaving 1 more signal acquisition is redundancy backup. This approach may meet the requirements of flash detection applications on ballistic targets.
In summary, the invention provides a device and a method for measuring the flash time of a pulse laser, which can realize high-precision measurement of the multi-sequence flash time of the pulse laser, especially the flash time of the multi-pulse laser, the timing resolution can meet less than 100 nanoseconds, the timing length can reach 1 second, and the device and the method can be applied to flash detection on a ballistic target.
