I describe four unusual laser systems for absolute measures of linear distance. All employ the familiar techniques of multiple wave- lengths, chirped wavelength, optical feedback and intensity modulation, but in somewhat unfamiliar architectures. These examples serve to illus- trate the breadth of solutions to this important problem. © 2001 Society of
