This project is funded by FCT- Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia.
Work Objectives The objective of this project is the optimization of a prototype of a high-resolution FMCW LiDAR system using a directly modulated semiconductor laser.
To this end it will be developed, implemented and tested pre-distortion techniques to compensate chirp nonlinearity.
Therefore, the main objectives of this scholarship are.
(i) establishment of an experimental software defined experimental testbed.
(ii) assessment of the laser chirp nonlinearity.
(iii) implementation of pre-distortion algorithms for chirp nonlinearity compensation (iv) experimental validation and optimization of the developed pre-distortion methods.
Place of Work The work will be developed at the premises of Instituto de Telecomunicações at Coimbra, under the supervision of Prof.
Maria do Carmo Raposo de Medeiros.
Duration 6 months, with the possibility of renewal.
Start date.
