ABSTRACT:
An optical radar system for tracking a target object is provided. This radar system includes generally a light emitting unit for emitting light toward the target object and a light receiving unit for intercepting the light reflected from the target object. The light receiving unit includes a condenser lens arranged for capturing the reflected light and a light sensitive element arranged at a position offset from a focal point of the condenser lens by a preselected distance in an image forming space thereof to be exposed to the light propagated from the condenser lens for assuring a narrower detection range for a distant target object and a wider detection range for a close target object.
