More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The development of miniaturized laser rangefinders and laser sighting systems has evolved as a direct result of large scale integration of electronics and more recently, the integration of the laser transmitter assembly into a ‘cartridge’ device. This paper addresses the evaluation of the latest ‘bonded cartridge’ device design, presents performance data and provides a comparitive assessment with previous devices. Laser performance is discussed in terms of corrected beam divergence, beam quality and beam stability as well as energy efficiency. Although the number of devices available for examination was small (6), the improvement in beam characteristics over previous designs was readily observed. (Author
