Abstract

The present application discloses a method and device for measuring time of flight and a LiDAR, and belongs to the field of ranging. In the present application, because a shared device of a first transmission link and a second transmission link is a temperature-sensitive device, the delay time of the temperature-sensitive device may be eliminated according to the differential processing of first transmission time and second transmission time. Thus the measurement results of the time of flight are only related to the delay time of the non-temperature sensitive device, thereby reducing the problem of the inaccurate measurement of the time of flight of a target object caused by the temperature change of a device for measuring. Therefore, the accuracy of the measurement of the time of flight of the device for measuring is improved.

Abstract

An embodiment of this application discloses a laser emitting circuit and a LiDAR, and belongs to the field of the LiDAR. The structure of the laser emitting circuit is changed so that for the laser emitting circuit in an energy transfer stage, the energy transfer current from an energy storage element does not pass through a laser diode, and the laser diode is in a reverse-biased state relative to the energy transfer current. Therefore, the parasitic capacitance of an energy releasing switch element does not cause the laser diode to emit light in advance during an energy transfer charging process, which prevents the laser diode from emitting light at an unanticipated time, thereby solving the problem of laser leakage.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides, for example, a lidar ranging method. The method may include calling a sequencer to generate a preset sequence with the sequencer. The method may also include determining a pulse transmission interval of double pulses according to the preset sequence and a preset value. The method may further include transmitting a probing signal to an object to be ranged according to the pulse transmission interval of the double pulses. The method may additionally include receiving, from the object to be ranged, an echo signal returned according to the probing signal. The method may also include extracting a valid echo signal from the echo signal. The method may further include calculating a distance from the object to be ranged according to a time difference between the valid echo signal and the probing signal.

Abstract

A lidar, and an anti-interference method therefor, may modulate a transmitting time of the lidar by injecting random time jitter at a time interval in a sequence of the transmitting time, and cause the lidar to transmit a laser pulse according to a modulated transmitting time. When an echo received by the lidar includes an expected echo of the local lidar and an unexpected echo from other lidars, because the transmitting time and the expected receiving time of the echo are correlated, injecting random time jitter in the transmitting time of the lidar may disrupt the correlation between the transmitting time of the local lidar and the transmitting time of other lidars. Thus, when a plurality of lasers are used together in one scenario and cause crosstalk, the anti-interference method for the lidar above can be used to fight against crosstalk to some extent.

Abstract

An apparatus in the field of optics technology, can include a reflector, a reflector substrate, and an extinction component. The reflector can be mounted on the reflector substrate. The extinction component can be arranged on a front surface of the reflector substrate. The reflector can be configured to reflect incident light signals. The extinction component can be configured to reduce the scattered light produced by the incident light signal on the reflector substrate. An optical scanning device (for example, lidar) having such features may greatly reduce the scattered light inside the lidar, reduce the detection blind area caused by the stray light, and greatly improve the receiving and detecting capabilities of the lidar.
