Infrared lasers measure speed by sending out a light pulse, which is then measured by calculating the time it takes to hit the target and rebound back. It works in the same way an echo does.

How do lasers measure distance accurately?

Lasers measure distance accurately by emitting a beam of light that reflects off a target and returns to a sensor. The time it takes for the light to travel to the target and back is used to calculate the distance based on the speed of light. This method allows for precise and reliable measurements in various applications such as surveying, construction, and scientific research.
