Abstract
When using the giant pulse mechanism for optical ranging, optimizing the pulse energy is often a better criterion than optimizing its peak power. Optimizing the product of the two may be even more appropriate. Conditions for photoelectron count detection in the 10 nanosecond range are examined.
