Pulsed Laser Technology
The PTFS-400 leverages advanced pulsed laser technology to achieve its impressive range and accuracy. Pulsed lasers emit energy in short, concentrated bursts, allowing the device to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the laser pulse to travel to the target and back. This method provides several advantages:
1. Enhanced Accuracy: By measuring the time of flight (ToF) of the laser pulse, the PTFS-400 can achieve high precision even over long distances.
2. Energy Efficiency: Pulsed lasers
consume less power compared to continuous wave lasers, as energy is only emitted in brief pulses, making the PTFS-400 more efficient and suitable for battery-operated or portable applications.
3. Reduced Interference: The short duration of the pulses minimizes the chance of interference from ambient light or other environmental factors, ensuring reliable performance in various lighting conditions.
