  • Method and device for producing an optical link with laser pulses
    Patent number: 7474856
    Abstract: A method and device produce an optical link with laser pulses between an emitter of the pulses and a receiver of the pulses. The optical link is used by a locating device for locating a body moving at constant speed away from the locating device. The locating device delays the start of emission of the laser pulses with respect to the departure of the moving body and varies the energy of the successive laser pulses in proportion to the square of the time elapsed since the start of emission of the pulses.

  • Method and device for producing an optical link with laser pulses
    Publication number: 20050174559
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for producing an optical link with laser pulses for locating a mobile. The invention is characterized in that it consists in varying the energy of said successive laser pulses (4) as an increasing function of the time (t) elapsing from the start of the emission of said laser pulses more or less in the direction of said receiver. The start of the emission of said laser impulse is delayed relative to the start of the mobile.
