A laser detection method for pulse emission coherent reception, referring to fig. 10, the laser detection method is implemented by the laser detection system as described above, and the laser detection method specifically includes the following steps:
s1, outputting a laser power pulse signal with bias power;

s6, carrying out spectrum analysis on the digital signal to obtain speed information of the target object;
and S7, calculating the flight time of the laser pulse according to the digital signal to acquire the distance of the target object.
In S3, the frequency offset of the local oscillator signal or the probe signal is selectively performed, and the frequency offset may be optionally not performed.
Specifically, because the power of the echo signal obtained after the detection signal is reflected by the target is much smaller than the power of the transmitted detection signal, the local oscillator signal is introduced to enhance the processing gain of the echo signal, so that the comparison is performed according to the strength of the transmitted detection signal, the strength of the local oscillator signal and the strength of the echo signal, an electric pulse signal with obvious discrimination can be output, then the flying time of the laser signal can be calculated according to the sampling time of the electric pulse signal, and the distance of the target object can be calculated by combining the light speed.
The distance detection comprises the following calculation steps: comparing the strength of the transmitted probe signal, the strength of the local oscillator signal, and the strength of the echo signal, and outputting an electrical pulse signal with a distinct degree of discrimination (refer to fig. 11-1, where a1 is a driving pulse signal sent by the main control unit, a2 is a laser seed source pulse signal, A3 is a local oscillator signal, a4 is a delayed probe signal, a5 is an echo signal, a6 is a coherent signal after coherent processing, a1 is a bias voltage, a2 is a laser seed source bias light intensity, A3 is a local oscillator bias light intensity, a5 is an echo signal light intensity, and a6 is a coherent signal light intensity), and because there is relative motion between the target and the laser probe system, a doppler shift is introduced in the received echo signal, so there is a corresponding frequency difference between the local oscillator signal and the echo signal, and the signal output by the optical signals with different frequencies during coherent probing is not a simple form of direct current plus pulse, instead, an amplitude modulation signal is formed according to the originally transmitted detection signal intensity and frequency difference signal (refer to fig. 11-2, where B1 is idle signal amplitude, and B2 is pulse signal intensity), and further, the original pulse signal needs to be recovered for distance detection, and corresponding signal processing needs to be performed on the amplitude modulation signal.

After the echo pulse signal is recovered, the flight time of the laser pulse can be calculated according to the sampling time by using methods such as a fixed threshold value or constant ratio timing method, and the target distance can be calculated according to the light speed.
Further, referring to fig. 12, the laser detection method further includes the steps of:
