A New Design of Laser Pulse Receiver in the Automatic Control System

Abstract

The existing problem of current laser pulse receiving system is that the laser pulses width is too narrow to be directly collected. And the consistency of the four signals acquisition is very strict. To deal with these problems, a new design of laser pulse receiver will be introduced in this article. This laser pulse receiving system includes the following structures: new high-speed laser pulse receiving hardware based on CPLD and Four-Quadrant Detectors, new peak-hold circuit of laser pulse, high-speed parallel ADC system, and processing data with fast interpolation algorithm in a Floating-Point DSP. Through the new design of high-speed parallel ADC system, the receiving system is able to simultaneously complete the timing of four high-speed laser pulse signals acquisition and the storing of data. The new construction of high-speed parallel acquisition is a core module in this design. And a new flow how to the DSP handle the data with fast interpolation algorithm will also be introduced in this article.
