Abstract
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems are an indispensable component for digital 3D acquisition and become ever more important with the advance of autonomous vehicles. However, conventional LIDAR systems have difficulties in capturing at high speeds, i.e. kHz 3D update rates. The recently presented time-stretch LIDAR offers a promising approach to solve this problem (1). In order to make this approach even more applicable, we present here a time stretch LIDAR system based on a 780nm swept source Fourier Domain Mode Locked (FDML) laser (2). The advantage of the scanning laser at 780nm is the compatibility of silicon-based avalanche photodetectors.
