An energy or direct detection or time-of-flight sensor (a type of incoherent optical detection sensor) used for remote detection and ranging purposes is a useful measurement tool due to its simplicity and high performance in uncluttered environments. A sensor- or top-level design approach has been established [Appl. Opt.59, 1939 (2020)APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.384135] due to the usefulness of these sensors, and with this, lower-level designs can be performed to optimize the sensor for particular applications. A critical design element of an incoherent optical detection sensor, or any active optical sensor for that matter, is the selection of a best or optimal central operational wavelength. First and foremost, a relevant metric is developed to provide an optimum wavelength. Then, a search for this wavelength is generated given a generic set of components where conditions are best suited for direct detection sensors, i.e., uncluttered environments or space-like, and finally, the search is again carried out for conditions within the Earth's atmosphere where transmission plays a role.
用于远程探测和测距目的的能量或直接探测或飞行时间传感器（一种非相干光学探测传感器），因其在无杂波环境中的简单性和高性能而成为一种有用的测量工具。由于这些传感器的实用性，已经建立了一种传感器或顶层设计方法[《应用光学》59, 1939 (2020) APOPAI0003 - 6935 10.1364/AO.384135]，利用这种方法，可以进行底层设计，以针对特定应用优化传感器。非相干光学探测传感器或任何有源光学传感器的一个关键设计要素是选择最佳或最优的中心工作波长。首先，开发一个相关指标以提供最佳波长。然后，在一组通用组件的情况下进行该波长的搜索，其中条件最适合直接探测传感器，即无杂波环境或类似太空的环境，最后，针对地球大气层中传输起作用的条件再次进行搜索。
