LiDAR needs adaptive sensors to meet the needs of physical artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
Traditional optics are fixed in functionality. The future is programmable optics, where a single chip can be programmed with any optical function.
Active metasurfaces are ushering in a new era of programmable optics.

Lumotive’s M30 lidar module (the production version of the M20 prototype featured in the company’s Mini-LiDAR Early Access Program and shown here) delivers 10+ m of range in bright sunlight, targeting small-form-factor lidar in robotics, industrial automation, and automotive applications. Lumotive’s U30 device will use the same architecture to deliver a tiny lidar for use in smartphones.
The program includes Lumotive’s M20 solid-state lidar evaluation kit, product customization, and technical support: Application deadline is March 31, 2021.

Lumotive has an LCOS chip producer, Himax Technologies, for fabrication of its silicon-based metasurface beam-steerer.
FIGURE 1. An illustration of liquid-crystal metasurface (LCM) beam steering depicts its operation. The incident light is TM-polarized. Shown here, the LCM steers to two different output angles (a and b), determined by the spatial frequency of the phase-modulation pattern applied to the array of tunable resonators on the LCM (c and d). Higher spatial frequencies steer the output beam closer to the incident beam.
A large-aperture, large-field-of-view dynamic liquid crystal metasurface beam steerer for automotive lidar has no moving parts.
