Laser altimeter for planetary exploration technology demonstrator: the timing system

Original language description

The altimeter Technology Demonstrator is based on the diode pumped frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser delivering 50 mJ at 532 nm in 3 nanosecond long pulses with the repetition rate of 20 kHz. The solid state echo signal detector in photon counting mode willbe used. The optical part of the altimeter is scaled down to simulate the real background count rate scenario and to reduce the energy budget link by a factor of 104 at the same time. The demonstrator should be capable to range objects at distances 0 -5 kilometers in both night and day time. We are presenting the concept, design and construction of the timing system part of the laser altimeter technology demonstrator, which has been developed at the Czech Technical University in Prague optimized for photon counting altimeter concept.
