Detailed Description
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present embodiment provides a laser energy detection circuit for a laser radar apparatus.
As shown in fig. 1, the detection circuit comprises a power supply circuit 1, a PIN tube mounting plate circuit 2, a coaxial cable 3, a signal conditioning circuit 4, a comparison voltage regulating circuit 5 and a signal comparison output circuit 6.
The power supply circuit 1 is responsible for converting an input voltage of 12V into a positive power supply voltage +vamp of positive 5V and a negative power supply voltage-Vamp of negative 5V, and providing the power supply voltages to other circuits to enable the circuits to work normally, which will not be described herein.
Fig. 2 is the PIN tube mounting board circuit 2; a PIN photodiode U8 is mounted on the PCB and near the laser light exit to detect stray light signals from the laser. U8 is connected with a reverse voltage of 5V through a current limiting resistor R18, and the reverse voltage can increase the barrier electric field in the PIN photodiode and improve the concentration of holes and electrons in the I-type layer, so that the photoelectric conversion rate of the PIN photodiode is further improved. When the PIN photodiode detects stray light of the laser, a weak reverse current signal is formed, and a weak voltage signal PIN_SIG is formed by flowing through the load resistor R20 and is transmitted to the interface P5. Interface P5 transmits voltage signal PIN SIG to interface P2 of the signal conditioning circuit via one of said coaxial cables 3.
Fig. 3 shows the signal conditioning circuit 4, the interface P2 transmits the voltage signal pin_sig to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U6, and the U6 is a high-speed operational amplifier, which forms a non-inverting amplifying circuit together with the resistor R9 and the potentiometer VR1, and amplifies the voltage signal pin_sig by a factor of (r9+vr1)/VR 1; therefore, the amplification factor of the voltage signal PIN_SIG can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the potentiometer VR1, so that the circuit outputs a voltage signal SIG with proper size; the amplified voltage signal SIG is delivered to the signal comparison output circuit via a current limiting resistor R13.
Fig. 4 shows the comparison voltage regulator circuit 5, which is mainly responsible for providing the voltage comparator U9 with a comparison voltage Vcomp. The Vcomp can have two sources, one source is a voltage dividing circuit consisting of a resistor R17 and a potentiometer VR2, the positive supply voltage +vamp is divided to obtain vcomp_manual, and the voltage value of the vcomp_manual can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the potentiometer VR2 and then transmitted to the normally closed terminal pin of the relay K1. Another source of Vcomp is externally supplied with an analog voltage Vcomp_auto, which is passed to the normally open pin of relay K1 via interface P3. Vcomp_manual and Vcomp_auto can be switched by a relay K1, the switching of K1 can be controlled by an externally connected control signal SW_Vcomp, and SW_Vcomp is transmitted to the relay K1 through an interface P3. When no external control signal SW_Vcomp exists, the relay K1 is connected with Vcomp_manual of a normally-closed end pin by default, and outputs comparison voltage Vcomp, and the Vcomp can filter voltage jitter during relay switching through a filter capacitor C13, and finally the Vcomp is transmitted to the voltage comparator U9.
Fig. 5 shows the signal comparison output circuit 6, the chip U9 is a voltage comparator, the non-inverting input terminal VP of the voltage comparator is connected to the voltage signal SIG, the inverting input terminal VN of the U9 is connected to the comparison voltage Vcomp, when the amplitude of the voltage signal SIG is greater than the comparison voltage Vcomp, the Q terminal of the voltage comparator outputs a fixed high-level signal NRG, and the signal NRG is transmitted to the SMA connector P6 through the impedance matching resistor R19.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the higher the energy of the laser, the larger the amplitude of the voltage signal SIG and the longer the response time, and the pulse width of the high-level signal NRG output from the voltage comparator U9 will also change after setting a suitable comparison voltage Vcomp. The higher the laser energy, the wider the NRG signal pulse width, which is proportional to the laser energy. Therefore, the energy value of the laser can be calculated by only detecting the pulse width time of the NGR signal.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the foregoing illustrative embodiments, and that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
Furthermore, it should be understood that although the present disclosure describes embodiments, not every embodiment is provided with a single embodiment, and that this description is provided for clarity only, and that the disclosure is not limited to specific embodiments, and that the embodiments may be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that will be understood by those skilled in the art.
