Application teardowns
These pages take a real product apart. A laser diode on its own is a data sheet; inside a rangefinder it is a decision about range, eye safety and size. Pick a part from a bill of materials and read the parameters that decide how the whole thing performs - each one with the catalogue part numbers that carry it.

Golf rangefinder teardown
A compact 905 nm transmit chain, a small-area detector, the timing electronics and the tilt / display module - the short-range end of the ranging family, with the user interface on top.

LiDAR teardown
A 905 nm transmit chain and an APD receive chain carried on a rotor: the same ranging parts the other modules use, plus the scan mechanism, the detector bias supply and the optical bench that turn a distance into a scan.
