LiDAR technology has undergone significant advancement in recent years, establishing itself as a technique for long-range, high-precision detection. As its use expands into more intricate scenarios, the need to overcome blind spots in the scanning field and enhance system stability has become increasingly critical. This paper introduces a novel coaxial LiDAR system featuring a double-clad optical fiber-based receiver which consists of a single-mode fiber core for the emission of the laser beam and a multimode inner cladding for the collection and transmission of the back-reflected beam. The real-time system is specifically engineered to measure distances in both near and far fields, eliminating blind spots. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that our system achieves a detection range of 0.2–70.7 m, with a distance accuracy of 3.4 cm and an angular resolution of 0.018◦. Compared with conventional LiDAR systems, our approach eliminates the need for complex optical pathway designs and algorithmic compensation. It offers a simplified structure, enhanced stability, and high accuracy.
