Hi Team,
I am looking for a time of flight sensor to accurately measure distances of 2 cm up to 100 m. I understand this may require different sensors. The only data I could find on accuracy and distance was concerning the OPT3101 having 1 mm accuracy but only measured up to 2.5 m. Can this sensor be configured to measure different ranges? If so, how is the accuracy affected as distance increases? The intended application is to measure the distance a beam of light travels through a sample cell. We have sample cells that range from 2.5 cm up 80 m.
We have cells of different sizes. Optically, the cells have pathlengths of 2.5 cm, 5 m, 10m, 32m, and 80m. The actual cells are much smaller. Mirrors are used to bounce light back and forth multiple times so that a 0.3m cell has an optical pathlength of 10m. Can you provide documentation that shows what sensors may work for these distances? Also, what is the accuracy of said sensors?
Regards,
Danilo
