Abstract:

This paper presents the results of comparative field tests of rangefinders with an eye-safe radiation wavelength of λ=1.54 μm and a radiation wavelength of λ=1.06 μm under the same weather conditions. It was shown that the rangefinder with the radiation wavelength of λ=1.54 μm provides similar parameters for measuring the distance as the rangefinder with the radiation wavelength of λ=1.06 μm at significantly lower output radiation energies (by a factor of 3 to 4).
