The Design of Focal Plane Splitting Unit in a Hyperspectral Lidar System

Abstract

A hyperspectral lidar system with focal plane splitting unit is proposed, including an off-axis receiving telescope, a grating spectrometer, and a single-tube detector array. The spectrum of the system covers 380-930nm, and is separated by grating spectrometer. The microlens-fiber coupling system guides the echo signal of 50 channels into each detector. The system solves the data processing problem of the bandwidth and gain the line array and area array detector in traditional hyperspectral lidar. And it also meets the requirement of the high efficiency splitting coupling and weak signal acquisition and detection.
