Free-space loss model of Lambertian reflection for guided-mode LIDAR
preprint
posted on 2023-11-09, 17:00 authored by Quentin Baudenon, Ben Hopkins, Cibby PulikkaserilWe introduce a simple model for predicting the free space loss of a LIDAR sensor aimed at a Lambertianscattering target at normal incidence. This model is validated through an experimental investigation of the coupled optical power using different optical collimators for a LIDAR sensor in which we observe good agreement with our model.
