DESCRIPTION OF A NOVEL DESIGN IDEA FOR LASER RANGEFINDERS,
Abstract
A novel laser-rangefinder design idea that can be used in part or in whole (each part having distinct advantages or characteristics) is presented. Advantages include: only one objective lens for projecting or recollimating laser light and for the collection of the return beam, automatic gain control over return intensity, and no oscillator nor fast time response electronic circuitry. Since spherical aberration and lens configuration are important in this design concept, they are examined in some detail. (Author)
