The Architecture and Working of LiDAR Laser
Everyone who owns a car is familiar with the 3-D color map of your immediate surroundings that the car display monitor shows while you travel. This map generates a map of the area around you and displays it to the driver, helping them in safe driving. But what is the name of this technology? It’s known as a LiDAR laser, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging.
So, how does LiDAR system work and what components are used to build it? Let’s find out!
The Architecture of LiDAR Laser :
A typical LiDAR laser consists of four major components: a transmitter (light source), a receiver (light detection), a signal detection system, and a data acquisition and control system. Again, the LiDAR architecture can be built in two ways: biaxial or coaxial.
This configuration aids in avoiding near-field backscattered radiation, which could saturate the photodetector.
In contrast, the axis of the LiDAR Laser beam coincides with the axis of the receiver optics in a coaxial system. As a result, the receiver may see the laser beam in the zero range bins.
