Use of Fresnel Enantiomorphic Diffraction in Surveying Laser Methods
Publication: Journal of Surveying Engineering
Volume 132, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper is a summary of an experiment using Fresnel enantiomorphic diffraction in geodetic laser methods. In this study, results from the analysis of a large data set made possible the determination of the degree of accuracy of laser beam axes under various surveying conditions. An important part of the results is formed by the conclusions derived from the discussed method in specific geodetic applications, the advantages, as well as the disadvantages of the laser method, its comparison to conventional surveying methods, and an outline on further research.
