Choosing a long range laser sensor
Range margin. Long-range figures are measured on large targets in good visibility. Haze, rain, small or dark targets cut range sharply, so choose a model whose catalog range is about twice the distance you need on a difficult target. See range in fog, rain and on dark targets.
905 nm or 1535 nm. In this range 905 nm models reach 3 km and start at $30; 1535 nm models reach 18 km and start at $300. Above about 3 km the catalog is all 1535 nm.
Interface and wiring. Models to about 8 km mostly use 3.3 V TTL UART; the 10 km+ units use RS-422, which tolerates long cable runs through gimbals and masts. All RS-422 modules.
Weight. 2–20 g for 1–3 km modules, 275–400 g for the 10 km+ modules.

FAQ
What is the range of a laser sensor?
In this catalog it runs from 9 m for the smallest single-point LiDAR to 18 km for the largest 1.54 µm module. Each figure applies to the target and visibility stated on the model page.
How far can a laser range finder go?
Compact 905 nm modules reach 1–3 km on large targets; 1535 nm modules reach 3–18 km in the catalog. Real range on small, dark or wet targets and in haze is much shorter, so keep a 2x margin.
How accurate are laser distance sensors at long range?
In the catalog, 1535 nm long-range modules state ±1 m or ±2 m; 905 nm 1–2 km modules state ±0.2–1 m at shorter distances plus a distance-proportional term (for example ±(1 + 0.001D) m). The exact value and the distance it applies to are on each model page.
How much does a long range laser sensor cost?
Published prices in this category run from $30 to $3,500 per unit at the first quantity tier, shipping included.
