  • LIDAR typically refers to a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distance.
  • LIDAR systems can be configured to calculate distance using the velocity of light in“time-of-flight” measurements - i.e. , how long it takes for light to hit an object or surface and reflect back.
  • Convectional LIDAR systems techniques scan the source and the detector to acquire spatial information to create 3D models and maps of objects and environments. Such methods typically rely on mechanical scanning and rotating optics technology, which are inherently slow, bulky, and non-robust.
  • LIDAR designs with no moving parts have been proposed by using surface illumination or beamforming with optical phase array as the sources, and sensor arrays as the detectors.
  • Such non-mechanical technologies have several fundamental limits in channel numbers, power, and speed. Illumination with a spatially broad light beam generated with laser or LED arrays has been employed to avoid mechanical scanning. When using lasers, the number of channels of a laser array is restricted by the heat generated, whereas when using LED arrays, the peak power is limited by the peak power of the LED (which is lower than that of a laser).
  • Another approach for avoiding mechanical scanning is the use of a phased array. While this approach is theoretically promising, practical implementations are hindered by the difficulties in control and stabilization of optical phase.
  • image sensor arrays have been proposed to eliminate the need to scan the detector.
