Considerations concerning the active range of a device for measuring distance
Abstract
Mathematical formulas for computing the range of a distance measuring device are presented. The instrument uses a pulsed solid state laser and its dependence on power parameters, the atmospheric path characteristics and the dimensions of the measured targets is considered. Also considered are the types of targets: reflecting, diffuse or a combination between the two. The equations are adopted for laser output.
