Abstract
Laser detection system is greatly influenced by sky background illumination and reflection characteristics of the target, to
improve the detection performance of laser photoelectricity detection optical system; this paper studies the laser
photoelectricity detection performance and the calculation method of equivalent noise of detection circuit. Based on laser
detection principle, the relation between target reflection radiation flux and the background illumination ar e analyzed and the
calculation m o d e l is established. The calculation function of target reflection surface area is deduced by using finite element
analysis method which divides the target surface area into a lot of unit areas, the calculation method of the reflection laser
energy that the photoelectric detector can receive is analyzed, and the mathematical function about detection distance and
laser illumination is obtained. Based on the detection circuit, the calculation method of detection circuit equival ent noise is set
up and the expression on SNR is deduced. Through experiment and analysis, the relation between the detection distance
and laser luminous flux and SNR are found, at the same time, the results show that the SNR is higher and the laser power
are stronger, the reflected laser is stronger in detector, and the target reflector area is greater, the detection sensitivit y is
higher..
