Abstract
A laser radar device of the present invention includes: an optical oscillator oscillating laser light; an optical modulator modulating the laser light oscillated by the optical oscillator; an optical antenna radiating the laser light modulated by the optical modulator to an atmosphere, and receiving scattered light from a radiation target as received light; an optical receiver performing heterodyne detection on the received light received by the optical antenna; and a signal processor calculating for a range bin a spectrum of a received signal obtained by the heterodyne detection by the optical receiver, calculating a signal to noise ratio of the range bin, and integrating the spectrum of the range bin and spectra of one or more range bins adjacent to the range bin when the signal to noise ratio is less than or equal to a threshold value.
