ULM, DEUTSCHLAND, June 30, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ —
Scantinel Photonics GmbH, a leading worldwide FMCW LiDAR company, launches the second generation of a chip-scale massively parallelized photonic integrated circuit (PIC). With this outstanding achievement Scantinel takes a leap towards the ultimate goal of a “Single Chip LiDAR”.
The photonic chip allows high pixel rate with high signal-to-noise ratio to enable outstanding capturing of high-quality real-life data due to a world unique chip integration level and makes autonomous driving a reality.
“Automotive solid-state scanning LiDAR requires the co-integration of detectors, laser and ultra-low loss solid state scanner on the same CMOS-foundry compatible photonic platform. Scantinel Photonics GmbH demonstrates integrated, massively parallelized detector and scanning chip sharing the same photonic platform as our integrated laser” said Vladimir Davydenko, co-founder of Scantinel.
“The new PIC architecture allows further a full in system calibration leading to significant cost reduction in a volume production environment as it reduces machine investments, fab area and production times” said Andy Zott, Managing director and co-founders of Scantinel.
“This high integration into a single chip LiDAR gives a significant advantage in cost and size over any existing solutions” adds Dr. Michael Richter – Managing Director of Scantinel Photonics.
