This work investigates the effect of tile time bin size oil the range accuracy of STIL systems based on the peak detection algorithm. The nunlerical simulation indicates that the time bin size has a significant effect on the range aceuracy, resulting in a modified analytical estimate of the range error. An indoor experilnent with a planar target is carried out to validate the theory that shows the linear relationship between tile range error and the time bin size. Finer 3D depth iinages of a fist model are acquired by using a smaller time bin size and the best range error of 0.003 In is achieved with the optimal time bin size of 0.07 ns.展开更多

Besides the main measuring laser beam,the second beam is used to decrease the error of time synchronization. The third beam has n＋0.5 pixels＇ difference compared to the main measuring beam on a CCD, and it is used to correct the error caused by CCD discrete sampling. A three-dimensional（3D） imaging experiment using this scheme is carried out with time bin size of 0.066 ns（i.e., corresponding to a distance of 9.9 mm）. An image of a 3D model is obtained with the depth resolution of 〈2 mm, which corresponds to ~0.2 pixel.展开更多

The pulse TOA can be calculated by comparing the measured arrival time with the predicted arrival time of the X-ray pulse for pulsar. In this study, in order to research the measurement of pulse arrival time, an experimental system is set up. The experimental system comprises a simulator of the X-ray pulsar, an X-ray detector, a time-measurement system, and a data-processing system. An X-ray detector base is proposed on the basis of the micro-channel plate （MCP）, which is sensitive to soft X-ray in the 1–10 keV band. The MCP-based detector, the structure and principle of the experimental system, and results of the pulse profile are described in detail. In addition, a discussion of the effects of different X-ray pulse periods and the quantum efficiency of the detector on pulse-profile signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） is presented. Experimental results reveal that the SNR of the measured pulse profile becomes enhanced as the quantum efficiency of the detector increases. The SNR of the pulse profile is higher when the period of the pulse is smaller at the same integral.展开更多
