    Though the measurement precision of the traditional LiDAR is gradually increased, it is still limited by the quantum noise of the optical field and the extra noise introduced by the detection process. To improve the detection performance of LiDAR, a new scheme using quantum squeezed state light field as local oscillator of LiDAR was proposed and the key factors for improving the detection precision of LiDAR was analyzed. Then an integrated low-noise squeezed light field was prepared, and the experiment of LiDAR Doppler information measurement was carried out. The results show that the Doppler information detection sensitivity by using quantum squeezed state is 3 dB higher than the traditional scheme of the coherent state light field as the local oscillator, which paves a research path for the detection of weak signals such as Doppler information.
