Distance measuring

A laser distance ranging method includes splitting two combs of dual comb radiation into a signal radiation portion and a local oscillator radiation portion. The signal radiation portions are, after separation, combined into a combined signal radiation and directed onto an object, the distance to which is to be measured. The signal thrown back from the object is split into a first and second signal portions. The first signal portion is superimposed with the second local oscillator radiation portion to generate a first measurement signal, and the second signal portion is superimposed with the first local oscillator radiation portion to generate a second measurement signal. The distance to the object is determined from the first and second measurement signals, and from reference signals obtained by the partial reflection, wherein the Vernier effect can be used to extend ambiguity by comparison of the first and second measurement signals.
