Which outcome results when the pulse width of a LIDAR system's laser is shortened at a fixed pulse energy?

💡 Explanation

Shortening the pulse width increases the peak power because energy is delivered in less time via temporal compression; the resultant increase in intensity improves the LIDAR's range resolution. The range resolution therefore increases, rather than signals weakening or extending range, when pulse width decreases.
