在本論文中我們將研究出的”跨週期重合技術”用於單光子數位光達中，進行抗背景光干擾工作。相較於傳統的抑制背景光技術，我們改善了以往架構於運作時造成的訊號的大量流失，使得量測時間拉長，在維持抑制雜訊光能力的前提下，將訊號的量提升數倍至一個order，滿足及維持了單光子偵測器的最大優勢--弱光上的應用。在技術的設計與實現上，我們使用數位IC硬體描述的方式，並使用28nm技術製作的FPGA進行實現，以符合系統架構更新及設計上的需求。在此測距系統，我們使用了發射率5MHz、波長為780nm的脈衝雷射，在背景光普通同時，實驗量測的最短積分時間不至於增加(皆為4us)，而在極強背景光且雷射訊號極弱的情況，最短積分時間不但不會增加，甚至可減少達45%。

In this work, we apply a new background suppression technique, called “inter-period coincidence technique” on the SPADs(single photon avalanche diodes) based digital LIDAR. Compared with traditional technique for background suppression, we have reduced the signal loss during the background rejection process. The more of signal loss, the more integration time of detecting have to used. Thus, without reducing the efficacy of background suppression, our architecture increased the signal count about several times or even one order. This caused SPAD LIDAR system to continuously maintain its greatest advantage – weak light application.
In the design and implementation part, we design the system with hardware description in digital integrated circuit, and implementation it with FPGA which using 28nm technology to cope with the requirements in system design and update. And in experiment part, our LIDAR system use pulse laser which repetition rate is 1 MHz and wavelength about 780nm. In normal SNR case, our architecture can maintain the shortest integration time at about 4us. and in low SNR case, our architecture can even shorten the shortest integration time about 45%.
