Buying Time-of-flight Measurement Devices
Time-of-flight measurement devices, such as laser rangefinders, use high temporal resolution to measure distances accurately. These devices typically involve lasers that generate short light pulses and fast photodetectors to capture the reflected signals.

 The lasers you need. From the people you trust. Our experience, your advantage. RPMC Lasers, Inc.8495 Veterans Memorial Pkwy O’Fallon MO 63366 United States See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 3686, 3687)! |  Serving North America, RPMC Lasers offers a wide range of compact pulsed laser sources for time-of-flight (ToF) measurement applications like range finding or LIDAR/bathymetry. These offerings include a wide variety of short pulsed DPSS lasers, CW and pulsed fiber lasers, laser diodes, and quantum cascade laser diodes. We provide standard and custom options that provide low SWaP, ruggedized, and high-performance output for many ToF-based applications, whether airborne or integrated into lightweight, handheld, and portable applications. Let RPMC help you find the right laser today! |
 OEM Electronics for the Generation and Detection of Laser Light Analog Modules, Inc.126 Baywood Avenue Longwood, FL 32750 United States See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 2027)! |  AMI's series of rangefinder/processor assemblies comprise a high performance receiver with compact support electronics to provide corrected range data to a mother system. The serial range data output is calibrated using AMI’s patented technology to mitigate the effects of range errors from various sources including walk due to return signal amplitude variations. Exceptional sensitivity allows the use of low power lasers, or alternatively, long range operation. The modules provide high voltage bias, time programmed gain with noise tracking threshold, first, last, and strongest pulse selection and range gating. The compact layouts allow positioning at the optics for minimum overall system size. A variety of models are offered providing cost verses performance options. A non-ITAR module is also available. |
