lidar

A new MIT-designed lidar chip uses specially engineered antennas to reduce interference and widen the sensor’s field of view. From self-driving cars navigating busy streets to drones surveying disaster zones, lidar has become one of the most important technologies for helping machines perceive the world in three dimensions. By sending out rapid pulses of infrared [...]

A sensor that can simultaneously capture depth and image data has long been a "holy grail," Ouster CEO Angus Pacala told TechCrunch.

Have you ever wondered why all automotive lidar systems use laser diodes emitting at either 905 nm or 1550 nm? In this report, you will learn why this is the case. Oh and even more interesting, you will finally get to learn which wavelength is best for automotive lidar. The question we focus on in this report is an important one since advanced automotive lidar is a key component in future self-dr…
