This invention is a distance measurement rangefinder. The proposed laser
rangefinder contains, serially connected, pulse laser with an optical
system, a pulse amplifier and a regulated pulse generator; also, serially
connected, a photoreceiver based on an avalanche photodiode with an
optical system, conjugate to that of the laser, an amplifier of
photo-detected signals, comparator, time-interval meter, and an object
detection indicator. This rangefinder is unique in that the pulse
amplifier features an additional output, connected to which is a second
laser with an optical system, conjugate to that of the first laser and
avalanche photodiode; and an additional second input connected to the
first input of the pulse amplifier, to the first output of the regulated
pulse generator and to the first input of the time-interval meter.
