Abstract

This paper reports on an experimental study which was carried out to evaluate the performance of thermally induced polarization distortions of the contrast ratio of an electro-optical shutter. Thermal stabilization of electro-optic crystals in shutter is used for reducing thermo-optic effects influents for contrast ratio for strobing the lidar signal.
