Abstract

Current subsea LiDAR implementations are inherently depth limited, and make LiDAR applications in the deep-sea costly. To this end, the SLiDAR project aims to develop a pressure tolerant LiDAR system for use at any ocean depth. This thesis elaborates the high-level system design of the LiDAR system, as well as the design and implementation of the laser pulse reception stage and the onboard central control unit. Due to the short time frame of the project and the high work load, the LiDAR system as a whole and its subsystems are not tested in practise. Hence, this thesis aims to provide a basis for future development, testing and verification of both the LiDAR system, its laser reception stage, and its central control unit.
