Hi Ray
There is a simple digital subtraction you can do. I do this with the linear
image sensors here at work. I also did this on one of my robots.
Take one ADC sample with the laser off. This will be your ambient light.
Take a second sample with the laser on. This is you illuminated sample.
Simply subtract the ambient from the illuminated sample and presto you have
a much better signal to work with.
If you want to go one step further you can integrate the subtracted samples
for a multi sample average.
Cheers
Kiwi Keith

My receiver is picking up ambient light. Are there any ways to filter that
out? Should I modulate my laser and put a bandpass filter on the receiver
end?
