Laser radar systems based on matrix scanners with no moving parts

Matrix based laser scanners from Laseroptronix can have 2 different designs. Booth have no moving parts and very different performance/ characteristics.

Matrix scanner with parallel pixel matrix.

This use an array of high speed IR illuminators that emits a very short pulse over the target area. Beside the emitters there is a special camera that look all over the area. Each pixel have a time of flight circuit that see how long time from transmitted pulse to the reflex comes back. This is calculated to a distance. All pixels are fused together to a real 3D image. Range is normally max 10 meter and accuracy sub cm. Frame rates can be 30Hz over an array with about 15 Kpix.

Range gated camera systems

This have a high speed pulsed laser with a high peak power. It is emitting the area of detection with a nano sec long pulse with KW in peak power. Beside we have a special intensified camera that is strobed with nanosec in resolution. The shutter can be controlled in timing only to look at a preset short and long distance. Here we can define an illuminated gap in distance and all here is visible. What is outside this area is not visible and dark. By stepping the illuminated zone we can generate a segmented image. All segments are combined and here we have a very high resolution 3D distance image. Range area is from 100 meter to 10 Km. Resolution is VGA at frame rates of up to 50Hz. One limitation is that it is sensitive to ambient light.

Short range Matrix cameras

This is operating from 1-10 meter at high speed and sub cm resolution. This is 576 KHz Voxel speed.

Range gated camera systems

This is a special system with unique performance. Here we can offer 10 Km range but only when dark. However we will soon make a day light system with very high speed and a few hundred meters in range.
