Abstract:
For test/calibration of an electro-optic range-finding device, one or more fiber bundles each are selected to have a length corresponding to predetermined time-of-flight for light pulses. An input end is positioned proximate to the laser aperture of the range-finding device to receive a portion of light emitted through the laser aperture, and the output end is positioned to emit light from the respective fiber bundle through the detector aperture of the range-finding device. A fiber attenuator is connected along each fiber of the one or more fiber bundles to attenuate an amplitude of light propagating through the respective fiber by an amount corresponding to a target of known reflectance and distance. The one or more fiber bundles are each coiled to reduce a linear distance over which the one or more fiber bundles extend. The one or more fiber bundles may each comprise a plurality of fibers.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 13 , wherein the fiber attenuators connected along each fiber of the first fiber bundle each attenuate an amplitude of light pulses within a respective fiber by at least an amount corresponding to the first time-of-flight for light pulses propagating a first distance in open air and the fiber attenuators connected along each fiber of the second fiber bundle each attenuate an amplitude of light pulses within a respective fiber by at least an amount corresponding to the second time-of-flight for light pulses for light pulses propagating a second distance in open air.
