High Precision Laser Distance Measurement Principle

The iToF usually refers to the method of indirectly measuring the time of flight of light by modulating the emitted laser and analyzing the change of the relevant characteristics of the modulated laser after the propagation of a certain distance. This method is most commonly used for the analysis of the phase characteristics of the modulated laser. The phase information carried by the transmitted modulated laser and the modulated laser received after reflection will be different, and the phase difference can be calculated by analyzing the phase of the transmitted and the received phase. The actual propagation distance of the laser can be calculated by combining the phase difference information and the specified modulation frequency.
