Distance measurement using light is important in diverse fields such as the automotive industry, rangefinding, and surveying/mapping. In the automotive industry, ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and autonomous vehicles require photodetectors that detect the presence of objects through the light they reflect. We offer a variety of high-sensitivity photodetectors that can be used for short-, mid-, and long-range detection by ADAS and autonomous vehicles.
Applications
LiDAR and 3D ranging
Autonomous Driving
Range Finding
Surveying
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
Important SiPM Characteristics
SiPM Advantage = Application Benefit
High SNR at low light levels = Longer range or less powerful laser needed
High detector gain = Simplifies analog design
Low bias voltage = Simplifies component selection thus lowers design cost
Mechanically robust = For portable systems in wide range of environments
