Abstract
A high-speed single-photon LiDAR (light detection and ranging) has been reported, which incorporates a novel trajectory compensation scanning method. This innovative approach significantly improves the airborne LiDAR's ability to reconstruct targets compared to traditional scanning methods by adding a scan parallel to the flight direction with an amplitude close to the inter-row space. The simulation indicates that the trajectory compensation scanning method increased the area illuminated by the laser footprint by 70% compared to the traditional ‘Z’ pattern scanning. It overcomes the issue of uneven distribution of sampling points that arises from high-speed movement of the aircraft or insufficient scan frequency. The imaging results of targets 17 m away strongly support that this approach can improve the resolution for airborne single-photon LiDARs.
期刊介绍：
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
