Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is an intriguing emerging market due to its rapid technological advancements and diverse applications.

From autonomous vehicles navigating complex environments to high-resolution mapping for urban planning and environmental monitoring, lidar’s ability to precisely measure distances using laser pulses makes it a powerful tool.

As industries seek more accurate and efficient solutions, lidar’s potential for revolutionizing fields like transportation, agriculture, and robotics continues to grow.

There are several reasons why Thin-Film Lithium Niobate stands out as a promising optical modulator technology for LIDAR applications.

Critical parameters are

  • the wide bandwidth for precise ranging accuracy
  • the wide transparency window
  • low optical losses
  • modulation flatness over frequency
