Analysis of the working mechanism and detection sensitivity of a flash detector

Abstract: Flash detectors are mainly used to detect the brief light flashing when projectiles are launched or exploded in the air. They can output trigger pulse signals in real time to start a test instrument and carry out data collection. Because flash detectors cannot work reliably under strong background light radiation, this work studied the flash detector mechanism. The influence of background light radiance, lens aperture, and detection distance on the effective signal was analyzed, a mathematical model of detection sensitivity based on the background radiation brightness control was proposed, a mathematical formula of the detection distance of the flash detector was deduced, and the optimal working conditions were obtained. The researched model was verified by simulation analysis and actual test experiments, in the same external circumstances, the limit detection distance of the optimal aperture compared to the maximum aperture increased by 20%, and the effective signal voltage amplitude was twice the amplitude at the maximum aperture, and the results showed the correctness of the analysis. The proposed detection sensitivity model can be applied for a dynamic photoelectric detection instrument, which broadens its potential application in the engineering field.
