A BETTER RANGEFINDER LASER

A Coherent 140 W diode laser extends the range and battery lifetime of handheld rangefinders. Lasers have been used as distance-measuring tools for decades. As early as 1962, scientists at MIT bounced high-power ruby laser pulses off the moon to measure its distance from the Earth. In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts left retroreflector arrays on the moon that astronomers at Lick Observatory used to get even higher accuracy measurements of lunar distance. These reflectors are still in use today with earth-based lasers! Today, the miniaturization in microelectronics that ...
