Comparative studies of rangefinders radiating in the micron and one-and-a-half micron wavelength ranges

摘要

This paper presents the results of comparative field tests of rangefinders with an eye-safe radiation wavelength of lambda= 1.54 mu m and a radiation wavelength of lambda = 1.06 mu m under the same weather conditions. It was shown that the rangefinder with the radiation wavelength of lambda = 1.54 mu m provides similar parameters for measuring the distance as the rangefinder with the radiation wavelength of lambda = 1.06 mu m at significantly lower output radiation energies (by a factor of 3 to 4).
