title: Time-of-Flight Optical Ranging System Based on Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting.
abstract: The design and implementation of a prototype time-of-flight optical ranging system based on the time-correlated single-photon-counting technique are described. The sensor is characterized in terms of its longitudinal and transverse spatial resolution, single-point measurement time, and long-term stability. The system has been operated at stand-off distances of 0.5-5 m, has a depth repeatability of <30 mum, and has a lateral spatial resolution of <500 mum.
