Summary

With an eye on cost effectively improving performance, the presenter with walk through a compact and ruggedized LiDAR solution using integrated acousto-optic beam steering and frequency domain imaging.
 
He will demonstrate a simple device construction, control system for beam steering, and frequency domain detection scheme. 
 
You will learn: 
  • How this approach can scale to an array realizing miniature, low-cost frequency–angular resolving LiDAR imaging systems with a wide two-dimensional field of view. 
  • How the technology can help expand the widespread use of LiDAR in automation, navigation and robotics.
  • What potential exists from further evolution, and what challenges remain.
