VI. Mechanical and Optical Interface Specifications for 12km Measurement
Mounting Design: Secured via 3 × Φ3.3 penetrating holes. Optical parallelism must be maintained during integration.- Optical Safeguards: When adjusting optical axis parallelism, the receiving lens MUST be blocked to prevent permanent APD detector damage from excessive echo intensity.
- Near-Field Protection: It is strictly prohibited to emit lasers toward strong reflective targets (e.g., glass, white walls) within 100 meters to protect internal optics.
- Reflectivity Dynamics: While the standard 12km range is based on 0.3 reflectivity, highly reflective targets (like exposed limestone) can significantly extend the measurable baseline.
