Laser Rangefinder Modules Guides
Practical guides for selecting, comparing and integrating
1535 nm laser rangefinder modules for OEM optical systems.
Laser Rangefinder Beam Divergence Explained: Spot Size at 1–20 km
Beam divergence may look like a small specification, but its effect grows quickly with distance. This guide explains how 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 mrad beams change spot size from 1 to 20 km, how beam footprint relates to target size and pointing accuracy, and what to check when selecting a laser rangefinder module for OEM integration.
How to Integrate a Laser Rangefinder Module into an EO Gimbal
Learn how to integrate a laser rangefinder module into an EO gimbal, from mechanical mounting and optical axis alignment to power supply, TTL/RS-422 communication, optical window selection, and boresight setup. This guide also covers practical points for choosing a suitable LRF for compact and long-range EO payloads.
TTL vs RS-422 for Laser Rangefinder Module Integration
Choosing between TTL and RS-422 can affect the reliability of a laser rangefinder module once it is installed in real equipment. This guide explains the differences in wiring, cable length, noise resistance, logic levels, and typical applications to help OEM engineers select the right interface for compact optics, EO payloads, vehicles, and other systems.
1535 nm vs 905 nm Laser Rangefinder Modules: Which Should You Choose?
Compare 1535 nm and 905 nm laser rangefinder modules for OEM integration. This guide explains the differences in detector technology, ranging performance, laser safety considerations, system cost, optics, and application fit to help engineers choose the right wavelength for their system.
12 km vs 18 km vs 20 km Long Range Laser Rangefinder Modules
Compare 12 km, 18 km, and 20 km laser rangefinder modules by distance, beam divergence, power supply, weight, target type, and integration needs. Learn how to choose the right long-range option based on real working conditions rather than distance alone.
What to Provide When Requesting a Laser Rangefinder OEM Module Quote
Learn what information to provide when requesting a laser rangefinder OEM module quote, including target type, working distance, visibility, power, communication, mechanical limits, optical window details, quantity, and delivery requirements.
How to Choose a Compact Laser Rangefinder Module for EO/IR Integration
Choosing a compact laser rangefinder module for an EO/IR system involves more than checking maximum ranging distance. This guide covers size, weight, 1535 nm wavelength, beam divergence, power, TTL/RS-422 communication, optical windows, target conditions and UAV payload integration to help engineers select a suitable module for real applications.
How Target Size, Reflectivity and Visibility Affect Laser Ranging Distance
Learn how target size, surface reflectivity and atmospheric visibility can change laser ranging distance. This guide explains why maximum range depends on real target and environmental conditions, helping users choose a more suitable laser rangefinder module.
How to Select a 3–20 km Laser Rangefinder Module
Choosing the right laser rangefinder module involves more than comparing maximum range. This guide explains how to select 3–20 km modules based on target size, reflectivity, visibility, beam divergence, accuracy, power, weight, interfaces, and platform requirements for EO/IR and other optoelectronic systems.
