MODAR Range-gated-technology The Range-gated camera system by OptoPrecision is The targeted synchronisation of the laser pulse and the developed specially for improved visibility in darkness and camera makes it possible to light a partial area determined other atmospheric interferences such as fog, rain or snow, by the distance and acquire an image in which atmospheric for example. interferences before the partial area observed are suppres- sed. Interfering light sources and light reflections, such as Range-gated systems combine two essential components when looking through fog, rain, snow or window panes, can with each other: a set, very short laser pulse and a special be minimised, which make a decisive improvement to the camera.

The successful suppression of interfering light sources (headlamps, street lamps or sunlight for example) developed through our technology and the minimisation of atmosphe- ric interferences are essential in many situations to obtain evidence-worthy images. For the public space and for short-range requirements, exclusively eye-safe lasers of the laser class 1 are used. For particular tasks or for long-range setups, lasers of the laser class 4 (not eye-safe) can also be used, as they allow a longer monitoring range of up to 2-3 km.
