Paper Abstract
A low cost, handheld lidar or laser range finder (LRF) system based on a GaAs laser diode was developed for automotive speed detection and law enforcement. The innovative lidar incorporates a head up display (HUD) to provide both an aiming reticle and data display of range and/or velocity. The design of this eyesafe lidar system is based on shared aperture optics, a pulsed high power Gallium Arsenide laser diode and a proprietary 'telephoto' HUD that allows the use of off the shelf displays. An embedded processor continuously computes range and velocity using a special algorithm optimized for the system.
