TurkishErbium Glass Laser in Laser Ranging
Long-range laser rangefinders are developing toward the trend of high safety, long measurement distance, high accuracy, low power consumption and miniaturization of size. At present, the common emission wavelength of rangefinder is 1064nm, which is easy to damage human retina and has great safety hazards. The miniaturization and high reliability of 1535nm human eye safety laser will become an inevitable trend. 1535nm human eye safety laser has been widely used in the fields of handheld rangefinder, gun sight, pod, fuze and border surveillance.
System Introduction
The principle structure of the ranging system is shown in the figure below, which mainly consists of four major parts: laser transmitting module, optical transceiver system, laser receiving system and signal processing system. The human eye safety ranging system uses an erbium glass solid-state laser to generate a hundred-μJ energy, low re-frequency, narrow pulse width 1535 nm laser, an APD with InGaAs as signal detection, and a TDC for time-of-flight measurement to obtain accurate distance information.
