We theoretically and experimentally examined the effects of the different positions between receiving lens (RL) and detector, namely, defocus, off-axis, and tilt, on the time-domain pulsed echo laser profile (TDPELP). Results show that distortions including saturation and broadening of TDPELP are obtained, regardless of the position between RL and detector. Thus, we adjust the focal length of RL to successfully obtain an optimal TDPELP using tunable lens under extreme situations, such as too strong or too weak intensity of the TDPELP.
