  • Patent number: 12265178
    Abstract: A lidar, and an anti-interference method therefor, may modulate a transmitting time of the lidar by injecting random time jitter at a time interval in a sequence of the transmitting time, and cause the lidar to transmit a laser pulse according to a modulated transmitting time. When an echo received by the lidar includes an expected echo of the local lidar and an unexpected echo from other lidars, because the transmitting time and the expected receiving time of the echo are correlated, injecting random time jitter in the transmitting time of the lidar may disrupt the correlation between the transmitting time of the local lidar and the transmitting time of other lidars. Thus, when a plurality of lasers are used together in one scenario and cause crosstalk, the anti-interference method for the lidar above can be used to fight against crosstalk to some extent.

  • Patent number: 12255437
    Abstract: An embodiment of this application discloses a laser emitting circuit and a LiDAR, and belongs to the field of the LiDAR. The structure of the laser emitting circuit is changed so that for the laser emitting circuit in an energy transfer stage, the energy transfer current from an energy storage element does not pass through a laser diode, and the laser diode is in a reverse-biased state relative to the energy transfer current. Therefore, the parasitic capacitance of an energy releasing switch element does not cause the laser diode to emit light in advance during an energy transfer charging process, which prevents the laser diode from emitting light at an unanticipated time, thereby solving the problem of laser leakage.
