Opsys LiDAR outshines competitors with unrivaled scan rate

Opsys has built a powerful LiDAR system that combines the low cost, robustness, and pure solid-state advantages of flash lidar with the range and resolution of scanning lidar all in one. Opsys solid-state scanning LiDAR technology is highly efficient, with a scalable cost structure enabling the best value for users. Opsys provides high performance alongside a flexible system installation and a scalable field of view.

Opsys' LiDAR system enables the use of multiple sensors in a single LiDAR system, providing an integrated single 4D point cloud with a flexible field of view. This allows automotive manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, and virtual dedicated server (VDS) suppliers customizable field-of-view configurations for a variety of uses.

Its patented multi-wavelength technology enables multiple sensors to operate without interference, while maximizing scan rate and eliminating dead zones from the field of view. A control unit then integrates the data from all base sensors to deliver a single 4D point cloud.

Dividing the field of view into 1,000-times-smaller segments than flash lidar, the sensor maximizes lidar’s power density to capture a greater range while operating under the FDA Class 1 eye-safety limit.

Opsys uses high-density detector arrays coupled with high-density, fully addressable two-dimensional VCSEL arrays (thousands of tiny, pre-focused, semiconductor-based laser arrays) to deliver the resolution, range and scan rate the autonomous-vehicle industry needs.

Opsys scanning LiDAR’s ultra-fast scan rate enables multiple measurements per pixel while delivering an unrivaled 30 hertz scan rate for the full field of view under all conditions. Further, the semiconductor-based structure of Opsys system enables full performance and reliability over a wide range of temperatures and automotive conditions.

Benefits of Opsys Scanning LiDAR:

• Pure solid state (no moving parts) means high durability

• 200-meter range (surpasses flash LiDAR's 50-meter range while maintaining eye safety)

• Scans full field of view at 1,000 frames per second

• System averages inputs to operate on 30 frames per second (averaging inputs eliminates errors caused by interference)

• Customizable, multi-wavelength system (this allows clients to customize the field of view to their needs by integrated multiple units without creating interference between transmitters)

• Low-cost (silicon semiconductor-based VCSEL lasers and SPAD receivers).
