There are provided an optical receiver and a laser radar including the same. The optical receiver includes a plurality of optical detecting units configured to convert an optical signal reflected from a target into an electrical signal and to output the electrical signal, a signal combiner configured to combine output signals of the plurality of light detecting regions, a plurality of switches provided between the plurality of optical detecting units and the signal combiner, and a controller configured to control the plurality of switches so that the plurality of optical detecting units are selectively connected to the signal combiner based on whether the optical signal to reflected from the target is input. Therefore, it is possible to make a module small, to improve stability and reliability, and to reduce a signal to noise ratio.

Optical receiver and laser radar with scan operation

A laser radar system includes a first light source unit including a signal light source&#x2014;a seed laser diode or a light source for amplifying a laser beam from the seed laser diode&#x2014;and a pump laser diode, a second light source unit disposed to be spaced apart from the first light source unit, the second light source unit including an optical amplifier for amplifying a signal output from the first light source unit, and an optical connector for connecting the first light source unit and the second light source unit to each other, wherein the second light source unit is disposed at an end of a laser transceiver unit of the laser radar system.

Laser radar system

Disclosed is a laser radar apparatus. The laser radar apparatus includes: a light transmission unit configured to output a laser pulse by using a light source; a light reception unit configured to receive a reflected laser pulse in connection with the laser pulse; and a controller configured to adjust a repetition rate of the laser pulse of the light source, in which the controller adjusts the repetition rate of the laser pulse based on at least one of reception power, a target distance, a movement speed, a vertical angle, and a radiation angle.

Laser radar apparatus and method of acquiring image thereof

Provided herein a laser radar apparatus including a plurality of light transmission and reception modules arranged concavely in an opposite direction to a scanning direction based on a surface vertical to the scanning direction, wherein each of the plurality of light transmission and reception modules comprises a transmitter configured to deflect a laser beam and to irradiate the deflected laser beam to a target; and a receiver configured to receive the laser beam reflected from the target.

Laser radar apparatus and method for operating thereof

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for implementing an active imaging system. A method of obtaining an image in an active imaging system including: dividing an imaging region, and determining a plurality of divided imaging regions; scanning each of the plurality of divided imaging regions based on a laser; collecting reflected light for each of the plurality of divided imaging regions, and generating a plurality of divided images by an image sensor; and generating a whole image for the imaging region based on the plurality of divided images.
