Detailed Description
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment provides a laser energy detection circuit for a laser radar apparatus.
As shown in fig. 1, the detection circuit includes a power circuit 1, a PIN tube mounting board circuit 2, a coaxial cable 3, a signal conditioning circuit 4, a comparison voltage adjusting circuit 5, and a signal comparison output circuit 6.
The power supply circuit 1 is responsible for converting an input voltage of 12V into a positive supply voltage + Vamp of positive 5V and a negative supply voltage-Vamp of negative 5V, and providing the positive supply voltage + Vamp and the negative supply voltage-Vamp to other circuits so that the circuits can work normally, which is not described herein.
Fig. 2 is the PIN tube mounting board circuit 2; a PIN photodiode U8 is mounted on the PCB and near the laser exit to detect stray light signals from the laser. The U8 is connected with a reverse voltage of 5V through a current limiting resistor R18, and the reverse voltage can increase a barrier electric field in the PIN photodiode and improve the concentration of holes and electrons in an I-type layer, so that the photoelectric conversion rate of the PIN photodiode is further improved. When the PIN photodiode detects stray light of laser, a weak reverse current signal is formed, flows through the load resistor R20 to form a weak voltage signal PIN _ SIG, and is transmitted to the interface P5. The interface P5 transmits the voltage signal PIN SIG to the interface P2 of the signal conditioning circuit via one of said coaxial cables 3.
Fig. 3 shows the signal conditioning circuit 4, wherein the interface P2 transmits the voltage signal PIN SIG to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier U6, and U6 is a high-speed operational amplifier, which forms a non-inverting amplifying circuit with the resistor R9 and the potentiometer VR1, and amplifies the voltage signal PIN SIG by a factor of (R9+ VR1)/VR 1; therefore, the amplification factor of the voltage signal PIN _ SIG can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the potentiometer VR1, so that the circuit outputs a voltage signal SIG with a proper size; the amplified voltage signal SIG is transmitted to the signal comparison output circuit through a current limiting resistor R13.
Fig. 4 shows the comparison voltage regulating circuit 5, which is mainly responsible for providing a comparison voltage Vcomp to the voltage comparator U9. Vcomp can be obtained from two sources, one source is that a voltage division circuit consisting of a resistor R17 and a potentiometer VR2 divides a positive power supply voltage + Vamp to obtain Vcomp _ Manual, the voltage value of the Vcomp _ Manual can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the potentiometer VR2, and then the voltage value is transmitted to a normally closed end pin of the relay K1. Another source of Vcomp receives an analog voltage Vcomp _ Auto from the outside, and transmits the voltage to a normally-open terminal pin of a relay K1 through an interface P3. Vcomp _ Manual and Vcomp _ Auto can be switched and selected by a relay K1, the switching of K1 can be controlled by externally connecting a control signal SW _ Vcomp, and the SW _ Vcomp is transmitted to the relay K1 through an interface P3. When no external control signal SW _ Vcomp exists, the relay K1 is connected with Vcomp _ Manual of a pin at a normally closed end by default, comparison voltage Vcomp is output, voltage jitter during relay switching can be filtered by the Vcomp through a filter capacitor C13, and finally the Vcomp is transmitted to a voltage comparator U9.
Fig. 5 shows the signal comparison output circuit 6, the chip U9 is a voltage comparator, the non-inverting input terminal VP of the voltage comparator is connected to the voltage signal SIG, the inverting input terminal VN of the U9 is connected to the comparison voltage Vcomp, when the amplitude of the voltage signal SIG is greater than the comparison voltage Vcomp, the Q terminal of the voltage comparator outputs a fixed high level signal NRG, and the signal NRG is transmitted to the SMA connector P6 through the impedance matching resistor R19.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the higher the energy of the laser, the larger the amplitude of the voltage signal SIG and the longer the response time, and at this time, after setting an appropriate comparison voltage Vcomp, the pulse width of the high-level signal NRG output by the voltage comparator U9 will also change accordingly. The higher the energy of the laser, the wider the pulse width of the NRG signal, which is proportional to the laser energy. Therefore, the energy value of the laser can be calculated by detecting the pulse width time of the NGR signal.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the foregoing illustrative embodiments, and that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein, and any reference signs in the claims are not intended to be construed as limiting the claim concerned.
Furthermore, it should be understood that although the present description refers to embodiments, not every embodiment may contain only a single embodiment, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art should integrate the description, and the embodiments may be combined as appropriate to form other embodiments understood by those skilled in the art.
