  • Operating method and control unit for a LIDAR system, LIDAR system, and device
    Patent number: 11982744
    Abstract: An operating method for a LIDAR system. An optical multipulse signal with multiple temporally separate peaks and temporally superimposed peak flanks of temporally directly succeeding peaks is generated on the transmitter side, and is emitted into a visual field as an optical transmission signal. A corresponding control unit, a LIDAR system, and a working device, in particular a vehicle, are also described.

  • LIDAR SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20230126182
    Abstract: A LIDAR system. The LIDAR system includes a light source and a bandpass filter which is situated in a reception path of the LIDAR system. The reception path being configured to receive light emitted by the light source which was reflected in surroundings of the LIDAR system. A spectral transmission width of the bandpass filter is configured to be narrower than a spectral emission width of a light beam emitted by the light source. A vehicle, which includes a LIDAR system, is also provided.

  • TRANSMISSION UNIT AND LIDAR DEVICE INCLUDING IMPROVED OPTICAL EFFICIENCY
    Publication number: 20230038495
    Abstract: A transmission unit for a LIDAR device for emitting collimated beams into a scanning area. The transmission unit includes at least one beam source for generating beams in the form of a beam bundle, the beam source being designed as a surface emitter or an emitter array, and a transmission optical unit including at least one lens. The transmission unit includes a diaphragm including at least one aperture, which is configured to delimit a cross section of the beam bundle of the generated beams in a horizontal direction and/or a vertical direction. The at least one lens of the transmission optical unit is situated downstream from the diaphragm in the emission direction of the beams. A LIDAR device is also described.
