Laser sensor with ultra-high range from Brightlaser
Brightlaser, a supplier of laser sensors, offers a range of laser measurement systems for distances from a few metres to tens of kilometres. The LiDAR laser sensor series is suitable for DTOF (Direct Time Of Flight) measurements. This involves measuring the time between sending an optical pulse and the arrival of the reflected light pulse. High-performance VCSELs (vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers) are used when short switching times and a narrow optical spectrum are required. They are therefore ideal for time-off-light (ToF) applications with high pulse power.
