Using eight 940 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) modules, Coherent has demonstrated a solution with several selectively addressable horizontal slices of the field of illumination (FOI).

Key Points: 
  • Using eight 940 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) modules, Coherent has demonstrated a solution with several selectively addressable horizontal slices of the field of illumination (FOI).
  • In addition to offering a compact form factor and excellent power conversion efficiency, the module is a much lower-cost alternative than using large addressable VCSEL arrays.
  • Coherent has a demonstrator available for its customers to explore multiple VCSEL module positioning configurations and scanning algorithms for various depth sensing modalities and types of scenery.
  • A voltage supply of only 21 V is required, which is much lower, and therefore more efficient, than existing LiDAR technology.
