摘要：
Single photon pulse ranging system with extremely high sensitivity has been widely used in distance measurement and 3D imaging. To analyze the factors that affect the measurement precision and accuracy will help to improve system performance. According to system structure and principle, we mainly discussed the following factors: laser intensity, pulse width, detection efficiency and time jitter. A simulation model based on Monte Carlo stochastic method was constructed in this paper, and we get the specific influence of factors on measurement precision and accuracy by simulation. Finally, we set up laboratory experiment system and took effective experiments on ranging precision and accuracy. Crown Copyright (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
