Absolute distance measurement techniques based on optical frequency combs have emerged as the gold standard for high-precision ranging over distances from micrometres to several kilometres. Optical ...

A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Bristol. The team ...

The MAX3806 is a high-gain linear preamplifier for distance measurement applications using a laser beam. The device operates from a single +5.0V supply and converts current from an AC-coupled ...

An improvement to a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a frequency comb enables it to measure light pulse arrival times with greater sensitivity than was previously possible—potentially improving ...

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the R2000 UHD Laser Scanner. This IP65-rated 2D photoelectric sensor leverages Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) and a rotating head to deliver quick, precise and high resolution ...

How innovations in visibility, usability, and smart sensing are changing who uses tools—and how. For centuries, measurement tools have been essential to architecture, engineering, construction, real ...
