description Diffractive lens has advantages over traditional reflective lens, such as light weight, high folding compression ratio, high tolerance for surface figure error and low manufacturing costs. It provides a new technical approach for a lightweight LiDAR ranging system. In this work, a laser radar system based on a diffractive lens receiver system has been designed. The receiver system is a hybrid structure consisting of an eight-level diffractive lens, a collimation set and a convergence set. Combined with the single photodetector, the designed laser radar system can simultaneously achieve measurements at near-field distances of 6.0 m, 9.9 m, and 16.1 m and far-field distances of 851.2 m.
