1) Determining the aperture of a focusing mirror
Suppose the laser emission power is ptReceived power on detector is prThe signal-to-noise ratio of the detector is SNR, and the detection formula is
Figure BDA0003725650440000041
In the formula, t0Is the one-way atmospheric transmittance, tTFor transmission system transmittance, TrFor the transmittance of the receiving system, R is the target distance, θtIs the laser divergence angle, ArIs the receiving aperture area.
