Abstract

We present a high SNR signal processing system for coherent solid-state LIDAR. A receiving frequency processing system is initially developed. In this LIDAR system, a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser is used as the transmitter, and balanced detectors array based on silicon photonic technology is used as the laser echo receiver. The receiving processing system includes multi-channel low-noise transimpedance amplifier, band-pass filter, high resolution ADC and output buffers. Based on the signal processing system, frequency signal processing with a high signal-to-noise ratio is realized, and the distance detection is realized to confirm on-chip balanced-photodetector-based coherent ranging. The system can be integrated by CMOS technology in the future and realizing three-dimensional integration through through-silicon-via (TSV) with the silicon photonic chip to get low integration complexity, low power consumption, low optical loss, and large array integration.
