Technology of micro-pulse satellite laser ranging

Micro-pulse laser ranging is a new method in satellite laser ranging. Its difference with the normal laser ranging is the method of laser signal detection. Photon counting measure is applied in the micro-pulse laser range system. The range information is obtained by analyzing lots of data instead of a single one. The sensitivity of such system is much higher than the conventional system. The micro-pulse laser ranging system has the advantage of far operation range, high precision and reliability. It is very suitable for application in fields such as satellite laser ranging, long distance range-finding and meteorology lidar.
