Abstract
Optical detecting and ranging equipment of high information gathering and processing capacity employs a pulsed coherent source illuminating with each pulse a line field of view. An optical receiver monitoring the entire field of view has a scanner that causes reflections received at different times to be recorded at correspondingly different coordinates.
