Abstract
In a vehicle laser radar system capable of performing both distance measurements and information communication, only one laser diode is required. A light beam output by a first light emitting section (10) is split and applied through an optical cable to a second light emitting section (14), so that the light beam thus split is emitted from the second light emitting section. A control unit places the laser diode in an operating state for a predetermined period of time, and, when the laser diode is in an operating state, chooses between distance measuring data or communicating data alternately, and causes the laser diode to emit a light pulse according to the data thus chosen.
