Experimental study on laser echo characteristics of typical objects

Abstract

Laser ranging is to measure the distance of a target with laser beam. Having the advantages of narrow beam and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, it has been developed and researched by many countries. Because of the complexity of backgrounds and targets, it is necessary to research the related laser echo characteristics. The power, waveform and other identities of laser pulse echo from targets are analyzed based on the experimental results of the laser ranging system. Valuable conclusions were drawn for the laser echo characteristics for different materials.
