In this Letter, we report a scheme that combines time-of -flight (ToF) ranging detection of multi-repetition-rate pulses with asymmetric dual-comb ranging (DCR) measurement. Notably, this combination extends the non-ambiguity range (NAR) of the DCR method without sacrificing its refresh rate and distance precision. With this scheme, we demonstrate absolute distance measurement of moving targets with an NAR of 1.5 km, which is 5x larger than that allowed solely by the DCR method for a given refresh rate at 500 kHz. The ranging precision in a single measurement of 2 mu s reaches 10 mu m at an effective distance of 571 m (down to 60 nm in 0.1 s). This combined scheme benefits remote sensing of high-speed objects.
