There's been a couple of discussions re laser range finders.
Here's one talking about hacking a commercial laser range finder.
Sparkfun also had a challenge (with a prize) to try and get people to share if they'd successfully hacked one (I don't think anyone has had complete success).
And here's a guy who successfully interfaced a very expensive ($2k-ish) hokuyo laser range finder.
Needless to say, it would be fantastic if we had a reasonably priced laser range finder!

Take a look at this laser range finder.

Do you have any particular sensor in mind? What application are you thinking of?
Count on me.
LIDARs and other laser apps are why I was lead to here as primary application.

I don't see why not. Probably cost would be the only issue.
