RESUMO
In order to achieve wide field-of-view, high-resolution LIDAR, a gating imaging structure combining an electro-optic crystal and an electron multiplication CCD is constructed. According to the index ellipsoid theory, a 3D ray tracing model is established to explore the principle of electro-optic modulation. The field-of-view and interference intensity distribution of the LiNbO3(LN) crystal electro-optic modulation are studied by using the proposed model. In order to solve the problem that the interference light intensity at the edge of the field-of-view of crystal electro-optic modulation is not homogeneous, we study and propose an electro-optic modulation aberration correction algorithm based on phase difference compensation. The corrected interference light intensity at the edge of the field-of-view increased from 0.87 to 0.94. Finally, a LIDAR imaging simulation system is established to image the target at a distance of 2000 m. The results show that under the condition of a 1° wide field-of-view, the imaging accuracy of the system is 5 mm, and the average imaging error introduced by the crystal electro-optic modulation is less than 2 cm.
