Abstract
A laser range finding apparatus includes a light emitting section that emits a laser light, a light receiving section that receives the reflected laser light from a detection object, the light receiving section including a plurality of photo detectors for respectively receiving a plurality of different transmission wavelength bands of the laser light, an identifying section that identifies each of the photo detectors each of whose output indicating signal waveforms of the received reflected laser light is not saturated as an unsaturated photo detector, and a distance calculating section that calculates a distance to the detection object based on a light detection timing at which the reflected laser light is received by the unsaturated photo detector.
