Abstract
Optical radar includes a linear transmitter diode array with each diode in the array being individually controllable for transmitting a light pulse on being triggered; and a receiver diode array is positioned in relation to the transmitter array in conjunction with optical imaging means such that a diode of the transmitter array is imaged on the ground on the same area which is seen by a particular diode of the receiver array so that a 1:1 relation is established between a diode providing a particular transmitted light pulse and a diode that can receive said pulse.
