New Era for LiDAR Applications: ams OSRAM to Introduce Groundbreaking 8-Channel 915nm SMT Pulsed Laser
PREMSTAETTEN,
The SPL S8L91A_3 A01 is designed to significantly improve long-range, high-resolution LiDAR systems for autonomous driving. With the world's first AEC-Q102 qualified 8-channel EEL (edge-emitting laser) in a QFN package, system developers can now choose from an even greater variety of infrared components from ams
Autonomous driving is one of the most discussed topics for the future. The majority of system providers is convinced that there is no way around LiDAR when it comes to advancing autonomous driving. ams
The SPL S8L91A_3 A01, a state-of-the-art infrared high-power SMT laser, is tailored for LiDAR applications, featuring a monolithically integrated 8-channel design. This innovative configuration delivers 125W per laser channel, i.e. 1000W total peak optical power, vastly enhancing the performance capabilities of long-range LiDAR systems crucial for autonomous highway driving. The laser has four individual addressable anodes, where each anode is connected to two parallel operating laser channels. This addressability gives flexibility to the customer in designing the end product.
Employing a single laser package allows for a more compact and efficient setup of the LiDAR sensor, eliminating the need for alignment between multiple components, thus simplifying the design and manufacturing process. This integration not only reduces the development timeline but also significantly enhances the reliability and performance of the end product. The laser's design includes ams
The SPL S8L91A_3 A01 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the automotive industry. It has surpassed the AEC-Q qualification standards, ensuring its suitability for automotive applications. The laser's QFN package is key to its robust design, providing a durable solution that meets the challenges of automotive environments. The products can be integrated into LiDAR systems for autonomous driving vehicles such as passenger cars, trucks or
"Our new 8-channel laser module is a game-changer for the autonomous driving industry," emphasizes
The SPL S8L91A_3 A01 will be launched in autumn this year. Further information about LiDAR and autonomous driving can be found at ams-osram.com/applications.
