    Uploaded by

    Cruz Manuel Perez
    PulsedLight develops a compact optical distance sensor using a single-chip processing solution. The sensor uses signal correlation to estimate time delay and operates a laser in short bursts for high peak power. It has a range of 0-40 meters, accuracy of +/- 0.025 meters, and acquisition time of less than 0.02 seconds. The sensor measures distance using time-of-flight and is targeted towards applications in robotics and UAVs.
