Lumotive and Lumentum Introduce Innovative Reference Design to Enable Faster Adoption of Next-Generation 3D LiDAR Solutions
30 Janvier 2023 - 4:00PM
Lumotive, the developer of Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) beam
steering chips enabling the next generation of 3D sensors, and
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”), a market-leading designer and
manufacturer of innovative optical and photonic products, today
jointly announced the availability of the M30 Reference Design, a
complete software-defined sensor implementation to enable rapid
adoption of LCM-based solid-state beam steering technology.
The M30 Reference Design integrates Lumotive’s LCM™ beam
steering chip with Lumentum’s M52-100 multi-junction VCSEL
array.
The M30 Reference Design, which includes Lumotive's LCM beam
steering chip and Lumentum's M52-100 multi-junction vertical cavity
surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array, is available now for
evaluation by select customers. Lumotive will showcase the advanced
features of LCM beam steering technology at SPIE Photonics West,
the premier event for optical systems designers, taking place in
San Francisco from January 28th to February 2nd.
“Lumentum’s high-performance, multi-junction VCSEL arrays have
unique and powerful advantages such as increased energy efficiency
and scanning accuracy, critical for all-electronic, 3D LiDAR sensor
solutions,” said Rakinder Grover, Vice President of Strategy and
Partnerships at Lumotive. “The M30 reference design seamlessly
integrates Lumentum’s M52-100 VCSEL array technology with
Lumotive’s transformative beam steering chips. The result is a
software-definable, immediately deployable LiDAR sensor solution
that addresses both the low power and small footprint requirements
of short to long-range mobility and industrial applications.”
Unlike traditional flash illumination solutions, LiDAR sensors
based on LCM electronic beam steering have numerous advantages,
including:
- Superior outdoor range performance
- Software-defined scan modes for increased and
application-specific performance (range, field of view, frame rate,
resolution) only where it matters
- Reduced multipath effects, resulting in better point cloud
quality
- Optimization of illumination across the field of view in high
ambient light levels and for varying levels of reflectivity
- Significantly improved interference mitigation from other
sensors
- High power density in a small form factor
“Combined with Lumentum’s high performance, multi-junction VCSEL
technology, the LCM beam steering technology from Lumotive allows
customers to implement true solid-state, VCSEL-based LiDAR with
software-definable characteristics in a compact package,” said Matt
Everett, Senior Director of Product Line Managment at Lumentum's
Imaging and Sensing Business Unit. “The M30 Reference Design
provides outstanding performance and the ability to dynamically
adjust the field-of-view (FoV) and region of interest, giving
customers the turnkey solution they need to realize their LiDAR
vision of the future.”
Early versions of the M30 Reference Design are currently being
evaluated by several leading LiDAR systems developers, Tier 1
automotive suppliers, and industrial OEMs. The M30 Reference Design
with enhanced performance and optimized for volume manufacturing is
expected to be available by mid-2023. The solution will be
demonstrated during the exhibition portion of SPIE Photonics West
2023, the world’s premier lasers, biomedical optics, and
optoelectronics event, held in San Francisco.
