This project aims to resolve challenging problems in light detection and ranging (LIDAR) to enable realisation of LIDAR sensors with low-power consumption, small size, high resolution and low cost. It proposes new techniques for integrated silicon photonic beam-steering to reduce the Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), and achieve high-resolution beams with hardware reduction. Outcomes herald disruptive, compact on-chip LIDAR technology for various applications including secure communications, miniaturized sensing, tracking systems, and autonomous vehicles. Significant benefits include industry growth, safeguarding Australia, and major economic benefits underpinning a huge market encompassing autonomous vehicles and robotics.

该项目旨在解决光探测和测距（LIDAR）中的挑战性问题，以实现低功耗，小尺寸，高分辨率和低成本的LIDAR传感器。 它提出了用于集成硅光子光束转向的新技术，以减小尺寸、重量和功率（SWaP），并通过硬件减少来实现高分辨率光束。这些成果预示着具有颠覆性的紧凑型片上LIDAR技术可用于各种应用，包括安全通信、小型化传感、跟踪系统和自动驾驶汽车。显著的好处包括行业增长，保护澳大利亚，以及支持包括自动驾驶汽车和机器人在内的巨大市场的主要经济利益。
