Laser Module Usage Precautions

(Important – Buyers Must Read Before Use)

Operating laser modules involves potential optical and thermal hazards. To ensure safe and proper use, please read the following precautions carefully before powering on your laser product.

  • General Safety Warnings​

    • Invisible Radiation Warning– Some laser modules emit infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is invisible to the human eye. Never assume the laser is malfunctioning simply because you cannot see the beam. Always confirm that the power is disconnected before inspecting the module.
    • Do Not Look Directly into the Laser Aperture– Even when wearing certified laser safety goggles, never stare directly into or near the beam exit of a working laser module.
    • Avoid Reflected Beams from High-Power Lasers– Reflection from Class IV lasers (output power > 500 mW) can cause severe and permanent eye damage. Always wear wavelength-specific safety goggles when operating or aligning high-power laser systems.
    • Keep Away from Flammable Materials– Do not place flammable or explosive items (such as paper, cloth, leather, or plastics) in the laser path. Black or dark-colored materials absorb laser energy more easily and may ignite. (Exception: controlled material-burning experiments with proper fire protection.)
    • Avoid Direct Human Exposure– Class IIIa or higher lasers (≥ 5 mW) can burn skin or eyes. Never point a laser beam at any part of a person’s body.
    • Restrict Access to Trained Personnel Only – Keep all laser devices out of reach of untrained individuals, children, and pets.
  • Optical Path and Reflection Safety​

    • Never Aim Toward Glass Surfaces– Ordinary glass reflects roughly 4 % of incident light, which can redirect dangerous laser radiation into your eyes. Avoid operating lasers in front of mirrors or reflective windows.
    • Working Plane Awareness– When setting up an experimental platform, note the laser emission height. Do not position your head or eyes near this level during operation. Lenses and mirrors may reflect or refract light unexpectedly. Always align optical components downward or horizontally—never angle a beam upward.
    • Remove Reflective Accessories– Watches, jewelry, and other shiny objects can reflect laser light unpredictably. Remove them before use.
    • Infrared Beam Detection– IR lasers (wavelength > 800 nm) are almost completely invisible. Use a beam-viewing card, IR detector, or up-conversion screen to visualize the beam path safely.
    • Visual Brightness Misjudgment– Some wavelengths (below 430 nm or above 700 nm) appear much dimmer than their actual power output. Do not rely on visual brightness to judge beam intensity.
    • Pulsed Laser Caution– Pulsed lasers can have extremely high peak power even at modest average power levels. Verify that all optical elements and samples in your experiment exceed the laser’s damage threshold before exposure.
    • Prohibited Uses– It is strictly forbidden to point laser beams at moving vehicles, aircraft, or any area where light could distract or endanger others.
    • End-of-Beam Safety Stop– Always place a black anodized or matte metal plate at the end of your optical path to absorb residual energy and prevent laser leakage into surrounding areas.

    Low-Power Modules – ERDI laser modules rated below 1 mW are considered eye-safe under normal operating conditions and can be used without hazard when handled properly.

  • Recommended Protective Measures​

    • Protective Eyewear– Always wear certified laser safety goggles designed for the specific wavelength and power level of your module.
    • Appropriate Clothing– Light-colored or white long-sleeved clothing reduces the risk of heat absorption or ignition if stray laser light contacts the fabric.
    • UV Laser Protection– For ultraviolet lasers, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to exposed skin areas to minimize UV radiation effects.
    • Environmental Safety– Operate lasers in a controlled laboratory or industrial environment with minimal reflective surfaces. Ensure that all personnel nearby are informed of ongoing laser use and have received proper training.

Product Description

LRF1831C 1535nm Eye-Safe UAV Laser Rangefinder Module for Aerial Mapping, Target Tracking and Terrain Measurement

The LRF1831C is a high-performance 1535nm eye-safe laser rangefinder module specially designed for UAV applications. It combines long-range capability, high accuracy and low power consumption, making it particularly suitable for aerial mapping, target tracking, terrain profiling and reconnaissance missions in compact UAV gimbals and EO/IR payloads.

Operating at a wavelength of 1535nm±0.005µm, Class I eye-safe, the LRF1831C uses a divergence angle of ≤1.3mrad, laser energy ≥350µJ and a Φ60mm receiver lens to balance long-range performance with a footprint and beam pattern that work well from altitude. Under line-of-sight conditions with visibility ≥15km and humidity ≤80% at 30°C, it achieves ≥6500m on Target 1 (5m×15m) and ≥12000m on a diffuse reflectance ≥30% target (20m×20m). The minimum range is ≤50m, making it feasible for both mid- and long-range UAV tasks.

The module supports both single-shot and continuous ranging, with a configurable ranging frequency from 0.5Hz to 10Hz. It offers three-target ranging with near/far target indication, so UAV mission software can distinguish front and back targets in cluttered scenes such as buildings, tree lines and terrain ridges. Range accuracy is ±2m, resolution ≤0.1m, precision rate ≥98% and false alarm rate ≤1%, meeting typical requirements for aerial survey, navigation support and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) applications.

Functionally, the LRF1831C provides:

  • Single and continuous ranging modes

  • Three-target ranging with near/far target indication

  • A built-in self-test function that reports APD temperature, high-voltage value, internal voltages and blind-zone distance

  • A standby wake-up function to reduce power consumption when the UAV payload is idle

Electrically, the module operates from a DC 12V supply. Standby power consumption is ≤1.2W, average power ≤2W and peak power ≤3W, which is attractive for battery-powered UAV platforms and lightweight EO/IR turrets. The LRF1831C is available in a pin-in-lead J30J package with an RS-422 serial interface, and it also supports a TTL (3.3V) interface via a Molex 51021-0500 5-pin connector (RX, TX, CTRL, +12V, GND).

The communication format is selectable between TTL and RS422 at 115200bps, 8 data bits, one start bit, one stop bit and no parity, using a simple master–slave protocol. Command frames start with 0x55 followed by a command word, length, parameter bytes and an XOR checksum. Commands include standby (continuous ranging stop), single ranging, continuous ranging with an adjustable period in milliseconds, self-test, distance selection and blind-zone setting, cumulative shot-count query, APD power on/off and serial-number query. Range responses carry up to three distances (0.1m resolution) from near to far plus a flag byte that reports main-wave and return-wave presence, laser status, timeout, APD status and whether fore and aft targets exist, giving UAV integrators a detailed status picture for robust algorithm design.

Mechanically, the LRF1831C measures 113×76×90mm and weighs ≤410g, providing a solid yet still UAV-compatible form factor for medium-size gimbals and airborne pods. It is rated for an operating temperature range of −40 to +70°C, storage from −55 to +75°C and meets MIL-STD-810G impact and vibration test standards, ensuring reliable performance under flight vibration, take-off and landing shocks and harsh environmental conditions.

For systems that require a protective optical window on the UAV turret or pod, an anti-reflective (AR) coating optimised for 1525–1545nm with transmittance ≥99% is recommended. After additional hydrophobic or hard coatings and mechanical integration, overall transmittance should remain ≥97%. The effective aperture and outer diameter of the window, its thickness (typically 2–4mm), the alignment of the emission axis within 2–4° of the window normal and a minimal air gap all follow the usual geometry guidelines to control absorption and back-reflection.

With its UAV-focused design, 6.5km / 12km performance, Class I eye safety, three-target ranging, low power and flexible TTL/RS422 interface, the LRF1831C is an excellent choice for aerial mapping payloads, UAV target tracking and cueing systems, terrain-following and obstacle-measurement sensors, airborne reconnaissance pods and other UAV EO/IR platforms that need reliable mid-to-long-range distance data in a compact core.
