“Lumentum’s high-performance, multi-junction VCSEL arrays have unique and powerful advantages such as increased energy efficiency and scanning accuracy, critical for all-electronic, 3D LiDAR sensor solutions,” said
Unlike traditional flash illumination solutions, LiDAR sensors based on LCM electronic beam steering have numerous advantages, including:
- Superior outdoor range performance
- Software-defined scan modes for increased and application-specific performance (range, field of view, frame rate, resolution) only where it matters
- Reduced multipath effects, resulting in better point cloud quality
- Optimization of illumination across the field of view in high ambient light levels and for varying levels of reflectivity
- Significantly improved interference mitigation from other sensors
- High power density in a small form factor
“Combined with Lumentum’s high performance, multi-junction VCSEL technology, the LCM beam steering technology from Lumotive allows customers to implement true solid-state, VCSEL-based LiDAR with software-definable characteristics in a compact package,” said
Early versions of the M30 Reference Design are currently being evaluated by several leading LiDAR systems developers, Tier 1 automotive suppliers, and industrial OEMs. The M30 Reference Design with enhanced performance and optimized for volume manufacturing is expected to be available by mid-2023. The solution will be demonstrated during the exhibition portion of SPIE Photonics West 2023, the world’s premier lasers, biomedical optics, and optoelectronics event, held in
