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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For many centuries, the principle of triangulation - that is the geometric measurement using three-point relationships - has been relatively well known. In Europe, the land survey method established ...

The method of measurement is based on the direct measurement of the distance via the contactless laser sensor RF603 Series. The electronic gauge contains a ball support to place the gauge onto the ...
