A Mach-Zehnder-Modulator based FMCW Lidar Emulator in C-Band
This paper presents a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (lidar) system based on Mach-Zehnder-Modulators (MZM). A thorough mathematical analysis is given to explain the basic operating principle of the system. To validate the system analysis, a laboratory setup implementing a lidar emulator in the optical C-band is built, and measurement results are given that confirm the theoretical predictions.
