A technique for reducing the effect of ambient light on ecartometry for a continuous wave laser-illuminated target is suggested. In the technique, two sets of photoresistors are used in combination. One set replaces the feedback resistors of the four-quadrant laser detector preamplifiers whose resistances are controlled by the other set. All the experiments were carried out indoors with indoor ambient light levels related to those for the outdoors. The suggested circuit is expected to function in ambient light in excess of 10(4) lux.
