An independent distance estimate to the AGB star R Sculptoris [PDF]
For the carbon AGB star R Sculptoris, the uncertain distance significantly affects the interpretation of observations regarding the evolution of the stellar mass loss during and after the most recent thermal pulse.

Absolute distance measurements using two-mode laser telemetry [PDF]
A novel laser ranging method is described that uses a two-mode laser source, and detection of the phase of the return beam. The design eliminates the cyclic error usually associated with phase measurements and provides unambiguous, absolute distance determination. Measurements of an ≈ 8m path are obtained at a beat frequency of 13 GHz.

High-Stable RF-Frequency Generation Using a Microcontroller for Amplitude Modulation Based Absolute Distance Measurement [PDF]
In this paper, we describe high-stable RF-frequency generation using a low-cost 8-bit microcontroller for amplitude-modulation based distance measurement, which is one of the indispensable technologies for cost-effective Lidar application.

Interferometry for High Resolution Absolute Distance Measuring by Larger Distances [PDF]
Among the incoherent techniques the phase measurement of modulated light seem to have reached some limitation with an resolution of less than 1 mm. This limitation is set by the bandwidth of the photodetector. The coherent techniques operate with two wavelengths to extend the unambiguity range of the classical interferometry.

The distance to the Vela pulsar gauged with HST parallax oservations [PDF]
The distance to the Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45) has been traditionally assumed to be 500 pc. Although affected by a significant uncertainty, this value stuck to both the pulsar and the SNR. In an effort to obtain a model free distance measurement, we have

Why GPS makes distances bigger than they are [PDF]
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), are among the most important sensors for movement analysis. GPS is widely used to record the trajectories of vehicles, animals and human beings.

Dual-Comb Absolute Distance Measurement Based on a Dual-Wavelength Passively Mode-Locked Laser
A new absolute distance measurement system is demonstrated in this paper, which is based on a dual-wavelength passive mode-locked fiber laser. By controlling the intracavity loss and spectral filtering, the cavity mode-locked by a single-wall carbon ...
