Ranging method based on linear frequency modulated laser

In this paper, we obtain target information about the distance between laser sources and targets based on the linear frequency modulated laser ranging system. We designed a specific experimental scheme for the ranging of linear frequency modulated semiconductor lasers based on heterodyne ranging experiment. Ranging precision can reach micron dimension and range resolution is about 0.002 m within the range of 1-40 m. The ranging method in this paper can apply to laser radars which could be used to capture target information, which is very helpful for tracking, identifying and extracting targets.
