摘要: 激光合成孔径雷达(SAL)结合了光相干探测技术和合成孔径成像技术，其微弱信号检测能力达到光子量级、成像分辨率可以突破望远镜衍射孔径极限，可以获得高分辨率图像而不受探测距离影响。针对SAL系统在成像幅宽方面的技术短板，在介绍激光合成孔径雷达与扫描成像激光雷达(LiDAR)各自发展阶段和技术特点的基础上，该文提出合成孔径技术与激光扫描技术相结合，在实现高分辨率成像同时突破SAL技术的成像幅宽限制。通过对扫描模式下SAL信号模型分析、机载SAL外场飞行成像实验和地面目标合成孔径成图计算，该文展示了SAL在远程、高分辨率和扫描成像中的应用潜力，提出了弥补现有SAL技术在成像幅宽和作业效率方面的缺憾的方法，为SAL系统在大幅宽、高分辨率对地观测以及空天弱目标ISAL成像提供了科学技术手段。Abstract: Combining synthetic-aperture imaging and coherent-light detection technology, the weak signal identification capacity of Synthetic Aperture Ladar (SAL) reaches the photo level, and the image resolution exceeds the diffraction limit of the telescope to obtain high-resolution images irrespective to ranges. This paper introduces SAL, including the development path, technology characteristics, and the restriction of imaging swath. On the basis of this, we propose to integrate the SAL technology for extending its swath. By analyzing the scanning-operation mode and the signal model, the paper explicitly proposes that the former mode will be the developmental trend of the SAL technology. This paper also introduces the flight demonstrations of the SAL and the imaging results of remote targets, showing the potential of the SAL in long-range, high-resolution, and scanning-imaging applications. The technology and the theory of the scanning mode of SAL compensates for the defects related to the swath and operation efficiency of the current SAL. It provides scientific foundation for the SAL system applied in wide swath, high resolution earth observation, and the ISAL system applied in space-targets imaging.
