Motorised beam expanders for meteorological LIDAR systems
Optical Surfaces provides variable focus motorised beam expanders for LIDAR system that are used in meteorological applications. An off-axis reflective beam expander greatly reduces the blind zone of LIDAR systems and therefore often offers the best solution to this problem. In LIDAR systems, such as Doppler Wind LIDAR, the wave front performance of the beam expander is very important for the LIDAR efficiency.
Full speed ahead!
The speed at which the Taiwanese electronics industry can move from design to production could be key as it strives to take an increasing share of the automotive electronics market. Though the country has been a major player in the automotive parts industry for many years, it has only been in the past three or four years that it has woken up to the fact that its long standing skills in electronics could open up the growing vehicle electronics mar...
Wireless network technology selected as communications platform
It has been announced by Rajant, that Sharp Electronics Corporation (‘SEC’) will use its Kinetic Mesh technology as the wireless communications infrastructure for the Sharp INTELLOS Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle (‘A-UGV’).The mobility, reliability and scalability of Rajant’s network were key reasons for the company’s selection.Its BreadCrumb radios, InstaMesh networking software, military-grade security and...
Range of photomultipliers feature enhanced near infrared sensitivity
Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced their range of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs); the S13720 series. Available in ceramic and surface mount package, these MPPCs have a structure to significantly enhance sensitivity in the NIR region, making them well suited for industrial LIDAR applications.
3D imaging and autofocus drive the IR light source market
It is believed that 3D imaging, gas sensing and autofocus will fuel the Infra-Red (IR) light source market.The More than Moore market research and strategy consulting company, Yole Développement (Yole), has announced a $1.5bn opportunity in 2022 in multiple applications and potentially $3.8bn in 2027.“Some applications will generate large revenues and strong growth rates during the next five years,” explained Pars Mukish, Busin...
Amplifier/ADC driver delivers 10GHz Gain Bandwidth
Analog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology, has announced the LTC6419, a dual 10GHzgain bandwidth product differential amplifier with very low input voltage noise density of 1.1nV/√Hz, delivering outstanding SNR performance for wideband signal amplification. Additionally, the LTC6419 offers low distortion, providing 85dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at 100MHzwhile driving 2VP-P signals.
Quartet collaborate on ADAS test solutions
Konrad Technologies, SET, S.E.A. Datentechnik and measX have formed a collaboration - ADAS IIT-Innovation In Test – to leverage their expertise in the field of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), sensor fusion, Hardware in the Loop (HiL), V2X communication, GNSS simulation and data management to provide a one stop solution for fully autonomous vehicles.
Avalanche photodiode arrays feature 12 elements
LASER COMPONENTS has announced the arrival of its new Silicon APD arrays - the SAH1L12 series. The SAH1L12 is a linear APD array featuring 12 elements in a 14-pin dual-in-line (DIL) package. In addition to the low noise and high speed (typical rise times of 1ns), the detector arrays boast very narrow gaps of just 40µm to reduce dead space and high quantum efficiencies of >88% at 800nm. Crosstalk is kept low at just 50dB.
ADAS platform provides new capabilities for smart cameras
A new Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and automated driving platform has been launched by Renesas Electronics: Renesas autonomy. As the first rollout under its Renesas autonomy platform, Renesas released the R-Car V3M high-performance image recognition System-on-Chip (SoC) optimised primarily for use in smart camera applications, as well as surround view systems or even lidars.
IEC standard sees acceptance for wind lidars
The international standards and conformity assessment body for all fields of electrotechnology, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), has published a standard to deliver the technical basis for the acceptance of lidar measurements for wind turbine power performance testing and wind resource assessments.
