Abstract

A new laser range finder electronic system for counting and displaying has been developed and tested. Its originality stems from its capability of simultaneously measuring the distances of two targets using one single photodetection, amplification, counting and displaying chain. This present circuit achieves a 10 m distance resolution between successive targets. Targets situated at ranges of 15 km along the line of sight of the transmitter have been easily detected with false-alarm and missed-signal probabilities of ≤10^-4/unit range interval and 10^-2 respectively. The circuit is characterized by its simplicity, compactness, reliability and very low cost of construction.
