ABSTRACT:
The disclosed apparatus is a temperature tracking narrow band optical range finder which includes a prior art GaAs laser diode for emitting a laser energy pulse to a target and an improved GaAs avalanche detector for receiving a reflected pulse from the target. This range finder can be arranged in a single optical axis with the laser diode electrically shielded from the detector and the reflected pulse defocused so as to impinge on the detector area surrounding the laser diode, or it can be arranged by combining the emitted and reflected pulse in an interspersed fiber optical plane.
