  • OPTICAL METHOD FOR SHAPING THE TRANSMIT BEAM PROFILE OF A FLASH LIDAR SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220317258
    Abstract: A component for diffusing light emitted by a laser source in a lidar system of an autonomous vehicle. The component comprises a component body. The component body comprises an aspheric lens shaped to direct laser illumination from a laser source in the lidar system to produce a particular illumination profile by directing a portion of the laser illumination to a part of a field of view of the lidar system. The component body further comprises an attachment structure configured for securing the component body to a printed circuit board of the lidar system. The attachment structure is further configured to space a central axis of the aspheric lens a distance from a central axis of the laser source in the lidar system.
