Descripción del proyecto
The i-LiDAR PoC project addresses the realisation of high-resolution and high-frame rate imaging systems. Relying on a combination of newly developed planar optical components, known as metasurfaces to achieve large deflection angles, with existing opto-mechanical systems, known for their high-speed light modulations, we will realize new light detection and ranging devices. The proof of concept devices are of great interests for both civil and military applications. Improving the scanning rate by orders of magnitude while preserving a continuous beam steering capabilities, could enable new high-speed applications. Fast imaging i-LiDAR system could be of interest for self-driven cars, giving them sufficiently fast ‘‘visual’’ recognition in order to adjust the driving conditions in real time, for example to drive on highways
