    Abstract: The present application discloses an optical signal processing circuit for a Lidar. The optical signal processing circuit includes an optical processing circuit, a gain control circuit connected to the optical processing circuit, and a controller connected to the gain control circuit. The optical processing circuit includes an optical sensor and an amplification circuit. The optical sensor is configured to convert an optical signal to a photocurrent signal, and the amplification circuit is configured to convert and amplify the photocurrent signal to a voltage signal. The controller adjusts a gain of the optical processing circuit via the gain control circuit and based on an amplitude of the voltage signal.
