Abstract

The present invention provides a dual-polarized Lidar receiving end based on an optical chip, including a module for receiving reflected light, a module for receiving local oscillator light, a plurality of frequency mixers, a plurality of detectors and a plurality of variable optical attenuators. The Lidar receiving end according to the present invention can receive and process two optical signals in an orthogonal polarization state. Compared with the existing Lidar design solution, a system on chip based on the optical chip according to the present invention implements monolithic integration of massive devices, and has the advantages of high stability, small volume and low weight and costs, and the like. It is relatively easy to increase a quantity of channels at the receiving end designed according to the present invention. When the quantity of the channels is increased, an optical aperture of a receiving port also increases accordingly, so that an effective angular field of the receiving end also increases accordingly so as to extend an angle range in which the Lidar can operate.
