Abstract
The linearity of the laser frequency modulation is a crucial factor that affects the performance of the frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR ranging. Nonlinearity can influence ranging resolution and introduce errors. This paper proposes a method for correcting frequency modulation nonlinearity based on waveform preprocessing for the modulation signal of the laser. After correction, the residual nonlinearity (1-r2) of the laser is reduced to
$1.85\times 10^{-4}$
for the up-sweeping and
$8.47\times 10^{-4}$
for the down-sweeping using the modulation signal with the repetition frequency of 50 kHz. The full-width at half of the maximum (FWHM) of the spectrum decreases by 86% compared to pre-correction, resulting in the ranging error of 0.37% at the distance of 38 cm. With distances of 0.90 m, 1.80 m, 2.89 m, and 4.13 m, respectively, the ranging error stabilizes at 0.2%, and the minimum deflection of distance can reach
$8~\mathrm {\mu m}$

期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
