There are basically two configurations of lidars-monostatic and bistatic
monostatic is one in which the transmitter(LASER) and the receiver(telescope) have the SAME axis ,collinear configuration
In bistatic lidar they dont have the same axis.you can imagine the laser and the receiver separated by 50-100mts both are aligned at angles
whereas monostatic models have the laser and the receiver very close by
both of them have advantages and disadvantages
that you can figure out logically
Daniel Lidar was born in 1968.
You can detect lidar pointed at your car, but lidar measures your speed so fast you don't have time to react.By the time you know about it they already have you.
LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light.

Sonar, Lidar.
Yes, just look for detectors which list "Laser". Laser is the North American terminology used for Lidar detection.

light detection and ranging
LIDAR technology was developed in the 1960's. It combined the laser and radar technology to calculate distance. It was first used in meteorology to measure clouds.
There is no national certifying organization. Each police agency determines the operating standards for traffic RADAR and LIDAR.
