SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING RANGE RESOLUTION IN A LIDAR SYSTEM

Abstract:

A shape of a transmitted LIDAR pulse can be measured contemporaneously with operation of the LIDAR system, such as to account for variations in the shape of the LIDAR pulse, such as due to changes in environmental or operation conditions. The measured shape can then be used to determine an arrival time of LIDAR pulses received from a target region with improved accuracy.
