The Future of Autonomous Mobility: Scantinel Photonics’ Revolutionary LiDAR Technology
Scantinel Photonics’ LiDAR on Chip Solution: High-Range Detection and Reliability at a Competitive Price
https://medium.com/@lkstimm?source=post_page-----81ec4617a011--------------------------------·
Exciting news for the world of autonomous vehicles! Scantinel Photonics, a global leading FMCW LiDAR technology company based in Germany, is revolutionizing the industry with its unique LiDAR on Chip solution. With a detection range over 300 meters and designed for mass production at a competitive price, this is the game changer every autonomous journey needs.
What sets Scantinel’s FMCW LiDAR on chip solution apart? There are seven reasons that prove their leading position in the industry:
- High reliability – The silicon wafer platform eliminates error-prone assembly and calibration steps.
- High pixel rate – The system can scale to high pixel rates through efficient multiplexing.
- Long range – Every photon returned from the object to the detector counts, enabling efficient object detection over long distances.
- Simultaneous range & velocity – The distance and speed of the object are measured simultaneously for each pixel, improving object detection capabilities.
- Robustness – Coherent ranging is not disturbed by sunlight or incoming LiDAR systems.
- Compact size and low cost at volume – The integration of lasers, detectors, and optical components on a silicon wafer platform via photonic integration allows for compact size and low cost at volume.
- Fast time to market – Scantinel uses existing and mature processes suitable for mass production related to photonic integration components.
Their technology has not gone unnoticed, as Scantinel Photonics has received the Top 100 Innovator Award in Germany and has recently landed €10 million for next-gen LiDAR solutions for autonomous vehicles and industry. Backed by ZEISS Ventures, Scania Growth Capital, and PhotonDelta, this company is on track to change the game for autonomous mobility.
