Description

Near-infrared band echo detection device for laser radar
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical and electronic engineering, and particularly relates to a laser radar near-infrared band echo detection device.
Background
The laser radar is a product combining the traditional radar technology and the modern laser technology, and has the advantages of large measurement range, high space-time resolution, short measurement time and the like. The method is widely applied to the research fields of laser atmospheric transmission, global climate prediction, aerosol radiation effect, atmospheric environment and the like. The laser radar system comprises a laser transmitting unit, a telescope receiving unit, a subsequent light path, a detector and a signal acquisition and operation control unit. The working principle is as follows: pulsed light emitted by the laser enters the atmosphere and interacts with air molecules, aerosol, cloud and the like in the atmosphere, and after echo signals of the pulsed light are received by the telescope, the echo signals are detected and collected, and algorithm inversion is carried out, so that relevant profile information of the atmosphere can be obtained.
The detection process of the echo signal directly determines the signal-to-noise ratio and the dynamic range of the final output signal, and has important significance in laser radar. The intensity of the echo signal of the near-infrared band of the laser radar is low, and the laser radar is easily interfered by background light noise and surrounding electromagnetic fields, so that an effective light path receiving and detecting device needs to be designed, the influence of environmental factors can be weakened, and a complete echo signal can be received as far as possible.
The avalanche photodiode is a photoelectric information conversion device with high sensitivity, has high avalanche gain effect, can effectively improve the sensitivity, reaction speed and signal bandwidth of optical signal detection, and is very suitable for the detection of near-infrared band optical signals due to the special material. In order to reduce dark current, the avalanche photodiode has a small photosensitive surface area, and the diameter of the avalanche photodiode is usually less than 3 mm. Therefore, the optical-mechanical structure needs to be designed so that the photosensitive surface of the avalanche photodiode can receive most or even the whole light to be measured.
On the other hand, the avalanche photodiode requires a reverse bias voltage for its operation. When the bias voltage is too small, the avalanche photodiode works in a linear region and cannot generate an avalanche effect; when the bias voltage is too large, the avalanche photodiode works in a Geiger mode and cannot stably work for a long time. Meanwhile, when the avalanche photodiode operates under a fixed bias voltage, the avalanche gain of the avalanche photodiode is obviously changed along with the ambient temperature, and the bias voltage of the avalanche photodiode needs to be controlled. Therefore, how to design a near-infrared band echo detection device for a laser radar becomes an important problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.
