  • Publication number: 20220350002
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and device for measuring time of flight and a LiDAR, and belongs to the field of ranging. In the present application, because a shared device of a first transmission link and a second transmission link is a temperature-sensitive device, the delay time of the temperature-sensitive device may be eliminated according to the differential processing of first transmission time and second transmission time. Thus the measurement results of the time of flight are only related to the delay time of the non-temperature sensitive device, thereby reducing the problem of the inaccurate measurement of the time of flight of a target object caused by the temperature change of a device for measuring. Therefore, the accuracy of the measurement of the time of flight of the device for measuring is improved.

In a one-driving-multiple emitting circuit, in an energy storage stage, a power supply stores energy for an energy storage element of the energy storage circuit, and a laser diode does not emit light. In an energy transfer stage, by setting a floating-ground diode D0, an energy charging current passes through an energy storage capacitor C2, the floating-ground diode D0 and the ground to form a loop. In an energy release stage, when the energy release switch element is in an off state, the energy release circuit where the energy release switch element is located is not the lowest impedance loop. A laser diode in the energy release circuit where the energy release switch element is located does not emit light.

  • Publication number: 20220239063
    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.
