Introduction
Lidar sensors provide high resolution and accuracy for diverse applications such as autonomous vehicles, 3D imagers, and line-of-sight telecommunications. A major challenge in the realization of small from-factor LIDARS is in implementing miniaturized Silicon-photonic waveguides for phase shifting and true time delay.
Project Scope
- Literature survey
