First Sensor Demonstrates LIDAR Expertise at Sensor + Test
Sensor specialist shows systems aptitude of its APDs in Infineon
demonstrator
Starting today, the sensor industry is meeting at the measuring technology
trade fair Sensor + Test and presenting its solutions for megatrends such as
networked systems and autonomous driving. More than 8,000 visitors and 591
exhibitors from around the world are expected in Nuremberg. Sharing the
spotlight is LIDAR technology for environment monitoring in autonomous
machines and vehicles. At its trade fair stand, First Sensor AG, a developer
and manufacturer of standard products and customer-specific sensor
solutions, is making it possible to experience the system abilities of its
avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with MEMS mirror scanning LIDAR demonstrator
from Infineon.
"Manufacturers test the various current sensor technologies for LIDAR. We
think that avalanche photodiodes come out on top. APDs connect a high level
of sensitivity with cost benefits, among other things, and are therefore
extremely well-suited to not only industry applications, but also to the
automotive market," says Dr. Dirk Rothweiler, CEO of First Sensor. Equipped
with an integrated amplification mechanism, the optical sensors recognize
invisible light signals that the LIDAR scanners use to detect their
environment.
Together with radar and networked camera systems, LIDAR technology aims to
enable autonomous driving in the future. First Sensor is currently providing
different companies with samples of a new generation of APDs to implement
the automotive future and has recently announced the series production of
the new "Blue Next" camera series. Self-driving cars are still in the pilot
phase, but forecasts predict that as many as 54 million of these vehicles
could be on the road by 2035.
LIDAR systems for automotive applications must be in a position to not only
quickly and reliably identify their environment in detail, but also cover
different ranges. At Sensor + Test, First Sensor contrasted selected sensor
technologies for LIDAR in the white paper "Making Sense of Sensors - A LIDAR
designer's guide to sensor technologies for automotive/mobility systems":
silicon PIN diodes, silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) & single-photon
avalanche photodiodes (SPAD), indium gallium arsenide photodiodes
(InGaAs), APDs. You can find the white paper here as a free download ( link).
