The 1535nm laser rangefinder module uses the principle of time-of-flight measurement to calculate the distance between the module and the target. The laser emits a short pulse of light with a wavelength of 1535nm towards the target. This pulse of light reflects off the target and returns to the module. The module then measures the time it took for the light to travel to the target and back using a high-speed clock. By calculating the time difference between the emitted pulse and the received pulse, the module can accurately determine the distance between itself and the target.
The 1535nm laser rangefinder module is designed to be highly accurate and reliable, making it an ideal solution for a variety of applications, such as surveying, mapping, and remote sensing. Its high accuracy and ability to measure distances over long ranges make it a valuable tool for industries ranging from construction and engineering to military and aerospace.
The 1535nm wavelength belongs to the near-infrared region.
There are several advantages to choosing this specific wavelength:
- Good atmospheric penetration: Compared with visible light, it has better penetration ability in certain weather conditions (such as fog or light haze).
- Eye safety: 1535nm is in the range where the human eye has very low sensitivity, so it is relatively safe even at relatively high power.
- Suitable for fiber optic communications: This wavelength is also one of the operating wavelengths of many fiber optic communication systems, which is convenient for integrating related technologies to improve performance.
