I have the following paper "Collecting Performance of a LiDAR Telescope at Short Distances":
http://earsel.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/3-3_03_Ohm.pdf

I am supposed to calculate the efficiency of the LiDAR, as shown in Fig. 4 in the paper. However, my graphs do not look at all as they do in the paper. I calculate b, B, M and P and with this AL as shown in the paper. Then I calculate Omega.

Then I integrate, as shown in Eq. (7). I integrate of the implicit variable r from 0 to R= beta *z / 2. The python code I wrote is shown below.

Reasons, I think I am doing something wrong:
• The Graphs look different
• There is a removable discontinuity when z = z0
• A lot of the graph is undefined, even when the graph is shown, parts of the makeup is undefined

Python:
import math 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import quad

f = 1.2         # focal length
beta = 2.4e-3   # laser beam divergence
L=0.1           # lense radius
d= 1.25         # distance of diaphrang

sign = 1        # in the plus minus part, the sign defines wether plus or minus

def R(z,beta):        
    return z * beta /2

Can you upload your graphs for comparison? Use the "Attach files" link below the Edit window. Thank you.
