摘要

【目的】

光子计数激光雷达因其极高的探测灵敏度在远距离和暗弱目标探测领域具有优势。常规基于周期脉冲信号的光子计数激光雷达存在距离模糊问题且极易受到其他激光雷达信号的干扰，导致虚警和误判。

【方法】

文章构建了一套基于混沌脉冲位置调制（CPPM）和时间相关单光子计数（TCSPC）技术的激光雷达实验系统，采用现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）设计了CPPM信号发生器，直接调制激光器生成光域混沌脉冲信号。利用单光子探测器和时间数字转换器（TDC）组成TCSPC系统。

【结果】

基于所构建的单光子探测激光雷达系统实现了实验室环境下目标物体的距离测量和三维（3D）成像，对其测距性能和抗干扰能力进行了实验测试。

【结论】

实验结果表明，文章所构建的光子计数激光雷达系统，采用CPPM方式产生的非周期脉冲序列作为探测信号，不存在距离模糊问题，且可以在极低的探测功率下有效抵制传统周期脉冲激光雷达信号的交叉干扰。

Abstract

【Objective】

Photon counting LiDAR offers significant advantages in detecting long-range and weak targets due to its exceptionally high detection sensitivity. However

conventional photon counting LiDAR

which is based on periodic pulse signals

suffers from range ambiguity and is highly susceptible to interference from other LiDAR signals. As a result

it often leads to false alarms and misjudgments.

【Methods】

This paper presents a LiDAR system utilizing Chaotic Pulse Position Modulation (CPPM) and Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) technology. A CPPM signal generator is designed using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to directly modulate the laser and generate optical-domain chaotic pulse signals. Additionally

a time-correlated single photon counting system is constructed using a single photon detector and a Time to Digital Converter (TDC).

【Results】

Indoor ranging and 3-Dimensional (3D) imaging experiments are performed

and the ranging performance and anti-interference ability are tested experimentally.

【Conclusion】

The experimental results show that the photon-counting lidar system constructed in this paper

which uses a non-periodic pulse sequence generated by the CPPM method as the detection signal

does not have the problem of range ambiguity. Moreover

it can effectively suppress the cross-interference of traditional periodic pulse lidar signals at extremely low detection power.
