Abstract :
An all-fiber monostatic laser rangefinder, using a double cladding fiber to transmit and receive light through a single lens is described. Ranging to >50 m with 12 uJ, 8 ns, 1540 nm pulses is shown. The all-fiber system is compact and needs no precise receiver/transmitter beam alignment.
