3D Sensing ToF(Flash LiDAR) Equipment
3D sensing ToF (Flash LiDAR)
3D sensing ToF (Flash LiDAR) sensor is a sensor that uses the flight time of light to measure distance and perform 3D mapping and imaging. 3D sensing is largely divided into SL (Structured Light) and ToF (Time of Flight) methods. The SL method is mainly advantageous in short distances, and the ToF method is advantageous in long distances. The ToF sensor consists of a laser light source, optical system, image sensor, and signal processing circuit. The laser light source mainly uses VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser), and the optical system irradiates the laser beam to the subject and focuses the reflected light on the image sensor. Optical systems may consist of lenses, diffusers, filters, etc. Image sensors mainly use SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) pixels and obtain distance information by detecting the time difference in reflected light. The signal processing circuit amplifies, converts, and filters the signal from the image sensor and outputs the final distance data.
Below are the optical components of the 3D sensing ToF (Flash LiDAR) sensor; This is equipment for measuring light distribution and electro-optical characteristics of lenses, diffusers, VCSELs, etc., and consists of an integrating sphere, temperature control module, pulse power supply, optical power meter, or spectroscopic analyzer. LIV measurement is a method of measuring the relationship between voltage-current-light output of a ToF sensor, and Field of Illumination (FoI) is used to evaluate the light emission distribution of a laser and the light scattering characteristics and performance of optical components.
