Abstract

Coherent detection ghost imaging lidar (CD-GI lidar) integrates ghost imaging with coherent detection, thereby achieving enhanced anti-interference and phase-resolved imaging capability. Here, we propose a bucket-detector-based multi-mode coherent detection scheme for CD-GI lidar, where the reflected multi-mode light fields are coherently mixed with a single-mode local oscillator (LO) at the bucket detector photosensitive plane. The bucket-detector-based multi-mode CD-GI lidar system breaks the constraints of Siegman antenna theorem by utilizing field correlation to decouple the reflected multi-mode light fields and reconstructs the spatial distribution of targets' vibration modes. Theoretical analysis of the bucket-detector-based multi-mode CD-GI lidar system is presented in this work, and its feasibility is verified through a series of experiments.
