An apparatus has a rangefinder portion that includes: a radiation
generator which emits radiation having a selected wavelength; a radiation
detector which detects radiation having the selected wavelength; and an
optical portion which includes a non-reciprocal optical part. The optical
portion routes radiation emitted by the radiation generator at the
selected wavelength through the non-reciprocal optical part and then
through an aperture toward a location remote from the apparatus, and also
routes radiation received via the aperture at the selected wavelength
through the non-reciprocal optical part and then to the radiation
detector.
