Abstract

In laser radar imaging system, the target requires to be scanned in order to obtain total field of view (FOV) image and the movement of the scanner has influence on imaging. The limitation of detector panel caused echo signal from various directions cannot be obtained by receiver. In this paper, an optimal detecting position was simulated by ZEMAX software in one-dimensional bistatic imaging laser radar optical system with plane scanning mirror. Meanwhile, experiment confirmation was conducted by He-Ne laser and simulated results were consistent with experimental results.
