Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005088341A1] An optical rangefinder includes an optical portion for directing optical radiation from a generator to and through an optical aperture, and for directing reflected energy of the optical radiation that is received back through the aperture to a detector, the optical portion having an optical switch. In a first operational mode the optical switch routes optical radiation from the generator in a manner that facilitates the directing of the optical radiation to and through the optical aperture, and in a second operational mode the optical switch routes the reflected energy in a manner that facilitates the directed of the reflected energy to the detector. A control portion is responsive to the detector, and controls the generator and the optical switch.
