First Sensor and Infineon showcase MEMS laser radar technology

[xiaomo]

Sensor Sensor First Sensor demonstrates its powerful APD system performance with Infineon's MEMS micromirror scanning LiDAR demonstration system.

According to the report of Memes, the largest event in the global sensor field, SENSOR+TEST, Nuremberg Sensor and Test and Measurement Exhibition, Germany, was held from June 26 to June 28, 2018 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg in Germany. Vendors will showcase their solutions for megatrends such as network systems and autonomous driving. The event is expected to attract more than 8,000 participants and 591 exhibitors to Nuremberg. The most notable of these is LiDAR (Lidar) technology for automated mechanical and autonomous vehicle environmental monitoring. First Sensor is the world's leading provider of standard and custom-made sensor system solutions that will showcase its avalanche photodiodes (Avalanche) from Infineon's MEMS micromirror scanning LiDAR demonstration system. System performance of photodiodes, APDs).

Dr. Dirk Rothweiler, CEO of First Sensor, said: “The manufacturers will test various existing LiDAR sensor technologies. We believe that APDs are the best choice. The main reason is that APDs combine high sensitivity with cost-effectiveness. Therefore, compared with other products, it is not only very suitable for industrial applications, but also very suitable for the automotive market.” With an integrated amplification mechanism, its optical sensor can recognize the non-visible signals used by LiDAR scanners to detect the environment. LiDAR technology will combine radar and webcam systems to achieve autonomous driving in the future. First Sensor is currently providing a new generation of APDs samples for different companies to automate the future of the car, and recently launched a new "Blue Next" camera series. The self-driving car is still in the experimental stage, but according to the report of the self-driving car sensor-2018 released by Yole, it is predicted that by 2032, there will be 23.1 million self-driving cars on the road.
