Résumé: The accuracy of kilometric-range distance measurements by electro-optical instruments is still limited by the determination of the air refractive index along the measurement path. Thus, a sub-millimetric accuracy is not reachable with classical instruments for such distances. However, a two-wavelength approach offers a promising route towards a compensation of air index fluctuations, and so towards more accuracy. In this paper, the principle of the two-wavelength absolute distance meter is explained, an experimental setup working at 785 nm and 1550 nm is described, and the first experimental results are presented.
