Lidar (Laser Radar) is a radar system that emits a laser beam to detect the position and speed of a target. Its working principle is to send a detection signal (laser beam) to the target, and then compare the received signal (target echo) reflected from the target with the transmitted signal, and after proper processing, you can obtain relevant information about the target, such as Target distance, azimuth, altitude, speed, attitude, even shape and other parameters, so as to detect, track and identify aircraft, missiles and other targets. It consists of a laser transmitter, an optical receiver, a turntable, and an information processing system. The laser converts electrical pulses into light pulses and emits them. The optical receiver then restores the light pulses reflected from the target to electrical pulses and sends them to the display.

The three principal applications of broadband light sources are as follows. Let’s take a quick look at each one to get a better understanding of them.

The fiber cut-off wavelength is to ensure that only one mode exists in the fiber. One of the main transmission characteristics of single-mode fiber is the cut-off wavelength, which is of great significance for fiber optic cable manufacturers and users of fiber optic cables to design and use fiber optic transmission systems.

Laser welding technology is a fusion welding technology that uses a laser beam as an energy source to make it impinge on the weldment joint to achieve the purpose of welding.

The transmission distance of the optical module refers to the distance over which the optical signal can be directly transmitted without relay amplification. It is divided into three types: short-distance, medium-distance, and long-distance. Generally speaking, 2km and below are short distances, 10-20km are medium distances, and 30km, 40km and above are long distances. Optical modules of different wavelengths with different optical fibers correspond to different transmission distances.

Optical fiber transmits signals through light guide, non-conductive, and not afraid of lightning strikes, so there is no need to use grounding protection. According to the transmission mode of light in the optical fiber, we divide it into multi-mode optical fiber and single-mode optical fiber.
