CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the SpeedLaser
®
from Laser Atlanta. This
rugged laser speed gun integrates the latest in solid-state laser
technologies to bring you hand-held, eye-safe laser speed and distance
measurement.
The SpeedLaser
®
is a Class 1 eye safe, multi-function device generally
used to measure range and speed of targets up to 2,000 feet away.
The technology utilized by the SpeedLaser
®
is called LIDAR:

anging. Your SpeedLaser
®
measures the time it takes a
pulse of laser light to travel from the LIDAR to the target vehicle and
back (pulsed time-of-flight). This round trip time is converted to a
distance (d=ct/2). The distance to the target vehicle is measured in this
manner over two hundred times per second. Sophisticated computer
algorithms combine these individual distance measurements to compute
the extremely accurate speed measurements displayed.
To get the most from your new SpeedLaser
®
