Distance Measuring of small objects

We need to measure distances from 20 - 300 cm. For testing purposes we used the Sharp GP2Y0A60SZLF.

The two main problems with this sensor are.

  1. It is only measuring up to 150cm.
  2. It´s FOV is to big. We are trying to measure the distance of an object that is only ~2 cm wide.

Does anyone have any ideas on what sensor to use for this?

Greatly Appreciate any help!

Laser distance sensor perhaps?
