Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system has an active modulator to modulate a light signal from an optical source with a low-power mode at a section of a sweep signal to generate a pulsed light signal transmitted towards a target. The LIDAR system has a photodetector to receive a return beam from the target with an amplitude modulated (AM) signal portion and a frequency modulated (FM) signal portion. The LIDAR system determines a target range value for the target based on the AM signal portion and determines a target velocity value for the target based on the FM signal portion.
