The best laser diode sources for automotive lidar
Tom Ako
In this report, we take a close look at the best laser diode sources for automotive lidar.
The laser source is arguably the most important component of any lidar system.
Laser characteristics like wavelength, power, and pulse duration ultimately determine key lidar performance parameters.
These parameters include range, sensitivity, noise immunity, frame rate, and field of view.
As a hobbyist or lidar system design engineer you need to take several factors into account when selecting a laser...
