LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
Benefits
LiDAR applications by OSRAM OS feature a broad range of benefits. Whether it is in terms of performance, resolution, design freedom or seamless integration in greater systems. Explore the benefits that make our LiDAR technology and products unique:
- Enhancing performance & reach
Technical advancements, particularly through optimizations in chip design and package, have made it possible to significantly increase performance of LiDAR within the operating limits. In addition, parameters such as pulse lengths have also been significantly improved.
- Ensuring high-resolution
Today’s LiDAR laser chips like the »SPL DP90_3« have a much narrower emission width of 120 µm. With its optical output of 65 W at 20 A, the component is ideally suited for capturing the immediate vehicle environment, thus ensuring high-resolution images for downstream systems.
- Empowering design freedom
The current generation of the »SPL DP90_3«, for example, is characterized not only by improved beam quality but also by particularly compact dimensions. Thanks to the chip’s space-saving footprint of only 0.3 mm x 0.6 mm, extremely compact designs are possible for system manufacturers.
- Enabling seamless integration
In autumn 2019, OSRAM presented the »SPL S4L90A«, the world’s first automotive-qualified (AEC-Q102) four-channel pulse laser for LiDAR applications. The special SMT package makes system integration of the high-power lasers much easier for system developers.
