LIDAR

Illumination Sources

Leonardo Electronics US offers a line of illumination sources for camera systems and Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS). The High Beam™ and Low Beam™ products offer integrated control electronics, laser diode source and beam shaping optics in a single module. Optimized for performance and cost, both products offer a range of configurable options including variable power, wavelength and application-defined beam shapes and are based on Leonardo’s VCSEL or edge-emitting laser diodes. 

Key Features

  • 760nm to 1700nm
  • Integrated system with electronics, laser source and beam shaping
  • Short pulses, <20ns
  • VCSEL or edge emitting laser diode sources
  • Application defined power, wavelength
  • Customizable beam shapes
