Hi all,
I am working on a set of sensors for a robot.  I am thinking of using
a laser diode emitter and an array of detectors.  I've read
about such a setup where the emitter/detectors are built into one
device with each in separate chambers.  The emitter gives off a beam and
is reflected of the target back to the detector array through a narrow slit.
Depending on which element of the array the reflected beam hits, the target's
distance from the source can be calculated using triangulation.  

But neither my advisor nor i know of a  company that produces such a device.
If you know of such a device out in the market, we would really appreciated
if you drop us a line. 

Please reply thru email as i dont want to lose any responses that might
get accidentally lost as i glanced thru the subject lines.

You can reach me at dly@joule.elee.calpoly.edu
						 
or if you have any literature on the subject, you can mail them to me

		I thank you in advance.
