The diode-pumped eye-safe laser range finder III (DP ELRF-III) is a Class 1 eye-safe, long range laser rangefinder with improvements that extend capabilities beyond L3Harris’ legacy flash-lamp product line.  Improvements to laser beam divergence, laser bore retention, system shot-life and receiver sensitivity result in superior product performance even in the most demanding operational environments.  The improved DP ELRF-III maintains constant Class 1 eye-safe operation and ruggedized environment hardening.
