Abstract
A ladar system and related method are disclosed where the ladar system includes a sensor that senses background light levels. A control circuit of the ladar system (1) measures the sensed background light levels and (2) controllably adjusts a pulse duration for a new ladar pulse based on the measured background light levels. A ladar transmitter can then transmit the new ladar pulse, wherein the new ladar pulse has the adjusted pulse duration. In an example embodiment, this technique for adaptive pulse duration can be employed in the ladar system where the ladar transmitter and ladar receiver are arranged in a bistatic architecture.
