The existing developed laser radar system mostly adopts mechanical scanning and pulse time arrival technology to acquire three-dimensional/two-dimensional space distribution information of a detection target, but due to the reasons of complex structure, poor vibration resistance, easy abrasion and the like of a mechanical rotating part, the service life of the mechanical laser radar is limited, the installation and calibration process is complicated, the size is large, and the application scene at the consumption level is limited. Meanwhile, the solid-state beam control technology based on the mechanisms of integrated optical phased arrays, optical crystal waveguides, dispersion media and the like is also rapidly developed. For example, rapid scanning of a laser beam is achieved using electrical/thermal control, with better stability and a compact system compared to mechanical scanning (see s.Phare, M. Shin, etc, " Large-scale optical phased array using a low-power multi-pass silicon photonic platform," Optica, vol. 7, no. 1, pp. 3-6, 2020.]). The optical frequency comb is excited by adopting the optical soliton, and large-scale parallel coherent laser ranging is carried out based on frequency (wavelength) dispersion-direction mapping, so that solid-state rapid scanning of a laser beam in one dimension can be realized (see [ J. Riemensberger, A. Lukashchuk, M. Karpov, etc. ], massivy particle coherent laser ranging a soloton microcomb "Nature, vol. 581, 164-170, 2020.]). Although the related technologies are mainly still in the laboratory research stage at present, the solid-state beam control technology attracts academia and industry to solve the technical difficulties under new requirements due to its potential superior characteristics, and the invention is invented (see [ guo clear water, yi Kun, chai tian, liushi Yuan, a "three-dimensional solid-state laser radar detection method and apparatus based on dual-optical frequency comb", CN113820688A.]) The method provides a solution, and the device is a three-dimensional solid-state laser radar detection device based on double optical frequency combs, combines a frequency dispersion beam scanning technology, a Rotman optical lens beam direction control technology and a double optical frequency comb coherent receiving technology, realizes the simultaneous receiving of multichannel data, and can realize the high-precision measurement of three-dimensional space distribution and speed information of a target without mechanical scanning. However, the solid-state lidar detection device of the scheme can only scan in one dimension at the same time, and still needs large-scale discrete devices, so that the system device is large in size and high in cost.
