1. Time-of-flight telemetry
1.1 Measuring principle
Time-of-flight telemetry (laser telemetry) is a non-contact measurement method based on measuring the round-trip propagation time (Δt ) of light between the sensor and the part to be measured.
The measured distance is :

speed of light.
To measure the propagation time Δt, which can be short (1 ns for a distance to be measured of 15 cm), two methods are used:
