Abstract
Design considerations for a coaxial lidar receiver are examined, including details of coupling to an optical fiber for transfer of return light to a remote detector box. Attention is concentrated on the influence of fiber position on return-light capture efficiency and dynamic range of the return signal. The effect of a central obstruction on short-range signals is included. The analysis is augmented with simulations of lidar receiver performance.
