Focuslight Announces Flash LiDAR VCSEL Transmitter Module AX02 Pro

Focuslight Announces Flash LiDAR VCSEL Transmitter Module AX02 Pro. It is designed primarily as a laser transmitter enabling Flash LiDAR for autonomous driving or ADAS, but could also be used in industrial sensing, 3D sensing and other industrial applications.

Main parameters

-  >700W peak power

-  <5ns laser pulse

-  125°x25° batwing wide FOV

Featuring

-  Focuslight’s automotive-grade glass diffuser

-  Automotive-grade high peak power VCSEL laser

-  Embedded short-pulsed driver

AX02 Pro is designed based on novel high peak power VCSEL, Focuslight’s propriety microlens glass diffuser, and the in-house developed short pulse driver. AX02 Pro can deliver industry leading >700W peak power with a wide FOV. It can easily be integrated into novel Flash LiDAR solution with short to medium range detection.

As an upgrade from previous AX01, AX02 Pro has redesigned the core components - VCSEL laser, short pulse driver and glass diffusers. The key specifications are

1.  Peak power > 700W@940nm

2.  Pulse width < 5ns

3.  FOV 125 ° X25 ° (with batwing intensity distribution)

The laser transmitter module, if coupled with SiPM/SPAD detector array, can serve as an ideal solution for dToF LiDAR. It can also be used in emerging applications such as industrial sensing and other 3D sensing scenarios. The FOV and far-field intensity distribution can be customized upon customer request (max FOV up to 160°).

The module is now in the engineering prototype stage and samples are available for customers.

In addition, Focuslight can provide fast response service for customers. Focuslight's experience in high power chip packaging and testing gives customers more application support.
