Coherent Introduces Dot Projector Modules for Depth Sensing in Consumer Electronics, Robotics, and Autonomous Vehicles
16 1월 2024 - 8:00PM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in optical sensing for
consumer electronics, today announced the introduction of dot
projector modules for depth sensing in consumer electronics,
robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
As the number of use cases for 3D cameras continues to increase,
the demand is growing rapidly for sensor technology that can be
configured for a wide range of applications and optimized for
performance and cost. To meet the growing demand, Coherent is
introducing dot projector modules based on 940 nm vertical-cavity
surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with designs ranging from 600 to
13,000 dots, to match various depth range and spatial resolution
requirements of spot-assisted time-of-flight (TOF) 3D cameras. Dot
projector modules from Coherent enable customers to design cameras
that capture an entire scene at a broad angle and extended depth
range even in bright outdoor lighting conditions, all while
maintaining low power consumption. The miniature dot projector
modules are based on surface-mount technology (SMT) for seamless
integration.
“Our customizable dot projector module is a breakthrough product
that our customers appreciate for its ability to project a sharp
dot pattern with high contrast ratio, enabling excellent depth
resolution at the system level,” said Dr. David Ahmari, Vice
President & General Manager, Optoelectronic Devices &
Modules Business. “This product lowers the burden of optics design
and system integration, which shortens time to market. By
leveraging the economies of scale of our vertically integrated
U.S.-based 6-inch laser technology platform that has delivered more
than 200 billion VCSEL emitters to date, we also offer our
customers scalability, supply-chain security, and leading
quality.”
Each dot pattern is configured to match a specific TOF depth
sensing application simply by optimizing the optics design for the
required number of dots and field of illumination (FOI). The dot
projectors offer a high contrast ratio with FOI from 60°x45° to
130°x110°, including 100°x20° to enable high image contrasts for
vacuum cleaner robots working over highly reflective floor
surfaces. The dot projector modules can be combined with the flood
illuminator modules from Coherent for long- and short-range
imaging.
Coherent also offers a broad portfolio of components for
sensing, including semiconductor laser diodes in the near-,
shortwave-, and mid-infrared wavelength ranges; photodiodes;
diffractive meta-optics; and laser driver integrated circuits, as
well as optoelectronic assemblies and illumination modules.
Coherent will showcase its broad range of products and
innovations for sensing at Photonics West 2024 in San Francisco,
Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, Booth #4805.
