Light Working in a Team Measures Distances More Accurately ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Superradiant LIDAR"
Coordinated glow of multiple light sources makes rangefinders much more accurate.

A regular rangefinder shines one beam and catches the echo. But if you take many sources that not only shine together but pulse synchronously, and listen to the chorus of their reflections — the measurement error shrinks dramatically. Thus, light working collectively enables ultra-precise LIDARs for drones and engineers.
🎯 Synchronized flashes of fireflies are visible from afar — similarly, superradiance collects light into a powerful precise signal.
🎬 Droids from Star Wars with such rangefinders would gain an intuitive sense of distance.
