Project Name:
Distance or Target Measurement
using Laser
 What is Laser?
 A laser is a device that emits light through a process
called stimulated emission.

 The term "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification

by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

 The power of laser points vary from 1-5 mW.

 Laser light is usually spatially

coherent, which means that
the light is emitted in a
narrow, low-divergence beam.

 System Description

We use high speed counter RDTSC (Read-Time
Stamp Counter) from the computer processor
to calculate the time.


This measured time is called time of flight and
used in calculation of distance, time divided
by 2.


RDTSC is a 64 bit counter.
RDTSC
How the Time-Stamp Counter Works?

 The time-stamp counter is a 64-bit MSR (model

specific register) that is incremented every
clock cycle.

 To access this counter, programmers can use

the RDTSC (read time-stamp counter)
instruction. This instruction loads the high-
order 32 bits of the register into EDX, and the
low-order 32 bits into EAX.
Laser Transmitter
 We build a computer controlled
laser.
 This laser is operated from parallel
port.
 Counter starts when
laser ON.
Laser Receiver
 Laser receiver (photo diode or
transistor) use to detect the laser
reflection.
 When reflected beam
is received , counter
stop.
 Time-of-flight
 Time taken by Laser to hit the Target
and reflect back on sensor is called
Time of flight.
 Here, an apparatus sends out a laser
beam and measures the time until a
reflected portion of the laser is
monitored.
 The time-of-flight method is typically
use for large distances such as
hundreds of meters or many kilometers.
Distance Calculations
Shortest distance measure=
frequency (GHz)/speed of light

Distance formula:
S=V T/2
Here
S=Distance
V=Velocity
T=Time of flight

Algorithm
 Main part of our program is in Inline
assembly using 32bit assembler ‘YASM’.
 Time calculations are in C++ using
Turbo C++ software.
 Program start , Call RDTSC (timing start)
a bit transmit via parallel port with the
help of laser pointer , wait for receive,
when bit is received via parallel port
Call RDTSC (timing stop)
 Using this time interval between start
and stop time, calculate Distance
