This presentation explores individual trends in lidar emitters and how they are advancing the performance and adoption of automotive lidar systems. Branko Petrov explains how edge-emitter lasers remain the most commonly deployed lidar sources today, despite mounting competition with VCSELs. Meanwhile, higher-density monolithic laser arrays are enabling lidar systems with...

Faraday Isolators date back to 1845 when Michael Faraday discovered the magneto-optical effect when studying the influence of a magnetic field on plane-polarized light waves. This effect became fundamentally important with the invention of the laser. A basic principle of laser operation is stimulated emission which poses a challenge with...

In modern industrial inspection applications, accurate quality control and increased throughput are essential for cost-effective inspection. The increasing demand to resolve finer details, which results in a small depth of field, necessitates the need to quickly and accurately focus on your target. These requirements tend to drive complex system design...
