  • Publication number: 20150381845
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for obtaining an image. The apparatus for obtaining an image includes a light source, a scanner, a first beam splitter, and a light receiving unit. The light source generates a laser pulse. The scanner irradiates the laser pulse in a first direction. The first beam splitter splits the laser pulse irradiated in the first direction in the first direction and a second direction and irradiates the split laser pulse. The light receiving unit detects reflected light. Accordingly, it is possible to irradiate light to a wide range by a light source having a relatively small divergent angle.

  • Patent number: 7892880
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a photo-detector array device integrated with a read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) monolithically integrated for a laser-radar image signal. A detector array device, a photodiode and control devices for selecting and outputting a laser-radar image signal are simultaneously formed on an InP substrate. In addition, after the photodiode and the control devices are simultaneously formed on the InP substrate, the photodiode and the control devices are electrically separated from each other using a polyamide, whereby a PN junction surface of the photodiode is buried to reduce surface leakage current and improve electrical reliability, and the structure of the control devices can be simplified to improve image signal reception characteristics.
