• high repeatability 0,01 % (3 Sigma) at 1 m stand-off
• high accuracy 0,05 % (3 Sigma) at 1 m stand-off
• high resolution with ca. 10 μm per pulse at 1 m stand-off:
→the pulses can be divided by factor 4 – 255
→full quadrature pulse output if required
• visible Laser light
• low laser power for safety reasons (7 mW)
• additional advantage because of He/Ne Laser tube:
→requires no temperature stabilizing (like Laser diodes)
→requires no stabilizing for operating range (like Laser diodes)
→constant Laser frequency - no mode hopping like semi conductors have
coherent light all over whole life time
→guaranteed life time 5 years (expected life time 7 – 8 years)
→no change in specification caused by aging (like semi-conductors do)
• flexible stand-off (between 500 mm and 2.000 mm)
