Inscribed Transceiver Optical System Design for Laser Radar with Zoom-type Expander

In this paper, an optical system was designed for 3D imaging laser radar with optical scanner. In order to make it easy to scan, the system was designed to inscribe the transmitting objective lens in the receiving lens. In transmitting optics, the beam expander was designed to have a zoom mechanism so that the transmitted beam size would be 4.8 m or 6.8 m at 1 km distance, when the laser source's numerical aperture value is between 0.13 and 0.22. The beam diameter at the target 1 km away was confirmed by design program. The receiving optics for the returning beam from the target was designed for the $16{\times}16$ array detector with $100{\mu}m$ pixel width. The spot diameter in every pixel was designed and verified to be less than $55{\mu}m$. The receiving optics' obscuration ratio by transmitting optics was 11%.

줌렌즈 광속확대기를 적용한 레이저 레이더용 송수광 내접형 광학계 설계

송광광학계의 광원으로 사용되는 광섬유 레이저의 개구수, NA가 0.13~0.22의 범위에 있으면, 이 NA에 관계없이 1 km 전방에서 빔직경이 4.8 m 또는 6.8 m이 되도록 줌렌즈형 광속확대기를 적용한 송광광학계를 설계하였으며, 표적에서의 foot prints를 통하여 빔직경을 확인하였다. $16{\times}16$($100{\mu}m{\times}100{\mu}m$) 픽셀 검출기를 사용하는 수광광학계를 설계하였으며, 검출면의 픽셀 위치에 따른 spot diameter는 모두 $55{\mu}m$ 이하가 됨을 확인하였다. 스캔을 고려하여 송광광학계를 수광부 대물렌즈에 내접하도록 구성하였으며, 이때 송광부에 의하여 가려진 부분은 11%가 되었다.
