摘要
增强型电荷耦合器件(ICCD)是凝视成像三维激光雷达的关键器件之一。测量了在不同输入光强和不同像增强器增益电压条件下的光强以及噪声。根据光电探测过程,用泊松随机过程理论和最小二乘拟合法对测得的光强噪声数据进行了分析,发现噪声主要由来自于像增强器的等效光电子散粒噪声和电荷耦合器件(CCD)的光电子散粒噪声组成。尽管像增强器对光信号进行了放大,在大部分情况下,CCD的光电子散粒噪声也不可忽略。建立了双随机变量泊松过程的三维成像噪声模型,利用该模型给出了测距误差最小意义下的最优增益距离调制函数。
Abstract
Intensified change coupled device (ICCD) is one of the key devices in the staring three-dimensinal (3D) active imaging laser radar. The intensity and noises were measured with different input light intensities and different intensified gain voltages. According to the photoelectric detection process, the measured intensity and noises are analyzed with Poisson random process theory and the least square fitting method. It is found out that the noises consist of the equivalent photoelectron shot noise from the image intensifier and the photoelectron shot noise from the charge coupled device (CCD). Although the optical signal is magnified by the image intensifier, the latter part of noise can not be neglected in most cases. A noise model of 3D imaging with a doubly stochastic Poisson process is established, from which the optimal range-modulated gain function with a minimum distance error is deduced.
