LIDAR laser is a type of laser used in LIDAR systems to emit short pulses of light at high frequencies, typically in the range of 10-100 kHz. These laser pulses are directed toward a target and bounce back, allowing the system to calculate the time it takes for the light to return and determine the distance to the target. LIDAR lasers typically operate in the near-infrared spectrum, as this wavelength range provides good atmospheric transmission and reduces the likelihood of interference from ambient light.
