Pulse laser diodes for LiDAR
Short pulses with high power
Author: Winfried Reeb
Published: Elektronik 07/2022, WEKA-Verlag
LiDAR systems for autonomous driving require fast pulse laser diodes (PLDs) with ever-improving resolution and range. For reliable 3D distance measurements based on the time-of-flight (ToF) principle, they must guarantee high pulse frequencies and have sophisticated control electronics
