Summary: Laser rangefinder (distance meter) working principle
Hello, could anyone explain to me (or direct to) how a laser rangefinder/distance meter works?
I want to learn about it in as much detail as possible. All I could find so far were very premature explanations telling me that a laser shoots a light pulse and knowing the speed of light is able to calculate the distance.
I want more information and I want it to be as much in-depth as possible (physics and electronics behind it (+ how the electronics themselves work), how the signal is processed, etc).
If you ever saw and remember where I could find useful information then please direct me to it (or maybe you have a good understanding and could explain it here).
