The laser one-dimensional range profile of a target can be approximated as the convolution of the transmitted laser pulse and the range-resolved laser radar cross section. Therefore, the widening effect caused by the laser pulse is eliminated as much as possible by echo deconvolution, and the resolution of the target laser one-dimensional range profile detection can be improved to some extent. To this end, the Richardson-lucy image iterative deconvolution algorithm is introduced into the laser echo deconvolution. Although the algorithm can eliminate the influence of Poisson noise effectively，In order to further improve the deconvolution effect, wavelet noise reduction is first performed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the measured data before using the algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation experiments.
