Abstract

Avalanche photodiodes operated in Geiger mode provide single-photon detection with excellent timing accuracy on a scalable semiconductor device platform, and they have been shown to enable high-rate collection of 3D LiDAR imagery from airborne platforms at extremely long (>10 km) stand-off distances. More recently, we have applied Geiger-mode technology to shorter range LiDAR systems designed for high-performance, low-cost automotive applications. The combination of two factors-single-photon sensitivity and the greater eye-safety of lasers at wavelengths beyond 1400 nm-provides disruptive automotive LiDAR range and resolution that will be essential to future autonomous vehicle navigation.
