Infrared lasers (VCSEL & EEL) for industrial LiDAR applications
LiDAR (>>Light Detection and Ranging<<) systems in industry applications enable industrial automation, traffic control, range finders and much more. Those systems are based on different measurement techniques such as direct and indirect time of flight. Here a very short laser pulse is emitted, reflected by an object and detected. By scanning the environment and measuring the travel time of the laser pulse a 3D depth map is obtained. With the help of the created map e.g. cleaning robots can savely navigate throughout your apartment and indutrial robots can identify human workers to prevent harmful interactions.
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors offers the strongest LiDAR portfolio on the market with VCSELs & EELs. The variety of EEL package designs (TO, Plastic, SMT) allows application flexibility and serve a great spectrum of different power classes. The existing OS VCSEL Portfolio is offering various power levels and illumination patterns. Additionally OSRAMs new PowerBoost VCSEL Technology is delivering market leading optical power and efficiency, increased power densities as game changer for future LiDAR developments
