Abstract

A method for enhancing the resolution of 3D imaging reconstruction by employing the polarization modulation of electro-optical crystals is proposed. This technique utilizes two polarizers oriented perpendicular to each other along with an electro-optical modulation crystal to achieve high repetition frequency and narrow pulse width gating. By varying the modulation time series of the electro-optical crystal, three-dimensional gray images of the laser at different distances are acquired, and the three-dimensional information of the target is reconstructed using the range energy recovery algorithm. This 3D imaging system can be implemented with large area detectors, independent of the an Intensified Charge-Coupled Device (ICCD) manufacturing process, resulting in improved lateral resolution. Experimental results demonstrate that when imaging a target at the distance of 20 m, the lateral resolution within the region of interest is 2560 × 2160, with a root mean square error of 3.2 cm.
