Summary
Adoption of frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is being driven by several major technical advances that are producing economic and strategic benefits to overcome long-held limitations of traditional LiDAR systems, such as time-of-flight. It’s sparking increased interest and growing adoption of FMCW LiDAR. Optics integration has become a key enabler by delivering higher accuracy and resolution, higher optical handling, and better performance within the most challenging environments. The ability to increase system-on-chip integration is also driving down production costs.
In this webinar, Todd Haugen will discuss the major trends driving the advancement and adoption of FMCW LiDAR, including the role of optics technologies, which help satisfy LiDAR demands for precision sensing, greater automation, and data-rich spatial details. These are key to advancing 3D environmental perception for autonomous driving, the creation of smart cities, geospatial mapping, and environmental monitoring, as well as industrial automation and robotics. He will also discuss the key technology enablers that make FMCW a better option than traditional time-of-flight (ToF).
