Abstract

In this paper, The laser transmitter module is designed as the subsystem of the high repetitive laser rangefinder. The module consists of high voltage power supply, high voltage control circuits, high voltage discharger, electro-optic Q-switch driver, and laser resonator. The high voltage power supply is composed of 2-phase flyback converter. And it has 220W power level and 78% conversion efficiency. From the Q-switch driver of the crossed porro resonator, the phase retardation voltage is switched from 600V to -1500V with 200ns falling time. The module can be operated up to 15Hz. And it generates the laser pulse which has 20ns width and 80mJ.
