Laser-based sensing

Laser-based sensing uses laser beams to measure distances or detect objects with high precision. A laser emits a focused light beam, which reflects off an object and returns to the source. By calculating the time it takes for the light to return, sensors can accurately determine how far away the object is. This technology is commonly used in applications like self-driving cars, remote sensing, and industrial automation, allowing for precise measurements and improved safety. It leverages the unique properties of laser light, such as coherence and directionality, to achieve reliable results in various environments.
