Method for Increasing the Operating Distance of MEMS LIDAR beyond Brownian Noise Limitation
2014
Abstract
A LIDAR based on a MEMS tunable VCSEL uses resonance tuning to increase the maximum range ten-fold. A novel demodulator reduces the peak electrical beat frequency from 52GHz to 235MHz for compatibility with standard CMOS.
