Abstract:
This paper proposes a new, to the best of our knowledge, modulator architecture for a microwave-modulated lidar for marine applications. The principle is based on the use of an infrared picosecond laser source, coupled to an external cavity, ensuring wavelength conversion in the visible range as well as radiofrequency modulation. Wavelength conversion is performed by a nonlinear crystal associated with adapted mirrors, while multiple round trips and polarization control in the cavity ensure microwave modulation. This paper presents both modeling of the emitted signal and the practical realization of this device.
