A Novel Optical Transmitter with High Peak Power and Narrow Pulse Width for LIDARs

光探测与测距(LiDAR)是一种在一定视场范围内对目标进行探测、定位和测量/成像的技术，随着人工智能(AI)的蓬勃发展，这项技术已经成为一项非常热门的技术。该项目将开发可用于激光雷达的光发射机的设计技术，该发射机具有120线、180度以上的视场。这些工作包括电气驱动电路的设计，以及激光二极管阵列的对准，以获得更好的视野覆盖。由于人工智能在世界各地和加拿大蓬勃发展，加拿大和世界各地的许多公司都在开发无人驾驶汽车，这需要激光雷达。因此，发达的技术和训练有素的HQP将使加拿大受益。

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) can detect, locate and measure/image objects in a given field of view,which has become a very hot technology due to artificial intelligence (AI) booming. This project will developthe technologies for design of optical transmitters that can be used for LiDAR and also have features of 120lines and more than 180 degree of view field. The works include design of electric driving circuit, andalignment of laser diode array for better view coverage.Since AI is booming in the world and also in Canada, there are many companies in Canada and the worlddeveloping driverless vehicles, which require LiDARs. Therefore, developed technologies and trained HQPwill benefit Canada.
