Abstract

A method for calibrating a LIDAR system proposes incorporating in the LIDAR system a reference optical path which is formed from an optical fiber. The length of the optical fiber determines a measurement reference value, which can then be used to evaluate distances of targets to be characterized using the LIDAR system. The calibration method is simple and economical to implement. It may be used in particular for a LIDAR system which is designed to perform air speed measurements, in particular on board an aircraft.
