Arthur Schawlow of Bell Laboratories Was based on Einsteins idea of the particlewave duality of light, more than 30 years earlier
Theory
There are 3 types of laser distance measurements 1)Pulsed 2)Continuous wave 3)Interferometer Method Laser ranging is called LIDAR which stands for Light Detection and Ranging
Definitions
Target Cooperative Target Uncooperative Target Retroreflection Diffuse Reflection Reflectance Response Time Depth of Field
Cooperative Targets
Non-cooperative Targets
Continuous Wave
Frequency modulated laser ranging We know that: 1)Light travels in straight lines 2)Laser light is coherent 3)The speed of light is known Therefore we can compute the exact distance that the light has traveled
Beam-modulation Telemetry
2R = C*Tr R = distance C = speed of light Tr = total travel time 1 cm over kilometers precision
Triangulation
1 Triangulation is a method of determining distance by using angles and trigonometry. 2.There are many different types of triangulation.
Rangefinders
Uses pulses of
Step 1
The vehicle determines
how far away the first satellite is from it. Either pulsed or CW techniques can be used.
Step 2
Step 3
The vehicle determines how far away a third satellite is
from it. Then it can combine all of the information and determine where on Earth it is located.

AR200 Sensors
Principles of Operation The AR200 sensors project a beam of visible laser light that creates a spot on a target surface. Reflected light from the surface is viewed from an angle by a line scan camera inside the AR200 sensor. The targets distance is computed from the image pixel data. The AR200 can not be overloaded and measures accurately even when a mirror reflects the entire light beam back to the detector. Likewise, on surfaces of polished glass or water, almost the entire beam passes through or is reflected away. The AR200 sensors can measure distance from the small remaining scattered light.
