Eye-safe DPSSL-based TOF-camera for geodesy

Summary form only given. A new TOF camera design is presented based on a compact eye-safe actively Q-switched diode pumped Er:glass laser and a receiver system based on focal plane array of short wave infrared InGaAs PIN diodes with a special readout integration circuit and an image intensifier. The developed camera is operable for distances up to 4 kilometers with 10 frame/s and 2.5 m resolution. The camera could be applied for airborne and space geodesy location and navigation.
