| dc.description.abstract | A frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) lidar is demonstrated with heterodyne detection. The lidar transmitter utilizes an electro-optic 𝐼/𝑄 modulator for the first time to generate carrier-suppressed and frequency-shifted FM modulation. This eliminates the need for an acousto-optic frequency shifter commonly used in heterodyne lidar transmitters. It also allows the use of a much wider modulation bandwidth to improve the range resolution. The capability of complex optical field modulation of the 𝐼/𝑄 modulator provides an additional degree of freedom compared with an intensity modulator, which will benefit future lidar applications. | en_US |
