MEMS Enables Efficient Optical Design for LiDAR Sensors
MEMS sensing technology company Omnitron Sensors has developed a process to fabricate the scanning mirror using conventional MEMS processes that reduces cost and size, while producing a 2 to 3 times larger field of view than competitive MEMS mirrors used today in long-range LiDARs.
Traditionally, scanning mirror subsystems used in LiDAR systems for ADAS and aerial applications have traditionally used voice coils, spinning polygons, and Galvos. These technologies are considered bulky, expensive, and prone to failure.
