Applications
Monitoring/Surveillance
Sensor systems based on pulsed microchip lasers may also collect other information from the scanned environment than just the distance to specific objects. Such systems can be used as µ-LIDAR devices e.g. for monitoring of weather conditions as pollution levels.
Scanning pulsed lasers are also very powerful components in fast and ultra-sensitive alarm systems for detection of unidentified objects or persons in a pre-specified environment. Applications include security surveillance of strategic areas or buildings and safety surveillance of traffic crossings or metro stations.
