Abstract
A framed Geiger-mode laser detection and ranging (LADAR) system includes signal processing circuitry configured to select an initial frame rate to maximize sensitivity of a Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiode (GmAPD) detector. The signal processing circuitry may adjust the initial frame rate to reduce and/or remove system resonances to determine a final (i.e., more-optimal) frame rate. The signal processing circuitry may process LADAR pulse returns using the final frame rate. The initial frame rate may be an initial optimal anti-blocking frame-rate determined from a background rate of the LADAR system, a read-out period of the GmAPD detector, and the Lambert W function. The initial frame rate may be adjusted to remove resonances using an Nth order Farey sequence to determine the final frame rate.
