Slide 6: Technical details
6 Technical details Depending on application up to 4 million measuring points are achievable with a scan of 30 seconds due to a laser repetition rate of 300 KHz and an extended vertical viewing angle of 110°. The smallest laser beam size of 3 mm is offering the highest resolution and best accuracy.
Slide 7: Principle Time-of-Flight Measurement
7 Principle Time-of-Flight Measurement • short laser pulse in a highly-collimated beam is sent in well- defined direction • pulse is partially and diffusely reflected by target(s) • receiver gathers backscattered optical signal (echo signal) and converts it into electrical signal • receiver electron
