  • Chip Packaging in Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Sensor System
    Publication number: 20240159874
    Abstract: An integrated chip packaging for a LIDAR sensor mounted to a vehicle includes a laser assembly configured to output a beam, an optical amplifier array chip configured to amplify a beam, and a transceiver chip coupled to the laser assembly and the optical amplifier array chip. The transceiver chip may be configured to emit the beam with reference to a first surface of the transceiver chip through an optical window and receive a reflected beam from a target through the optical window. The integrated chip packaging for the LIDAR sensor defines the configuration of optical components for providing a path for the optical signal to travel in and out of the LIDAR sensor and dissipating the heat generated by the optical components for improved performance.

  • Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system including a modular assembly
    Patent number: 11754687
    Abstract: A modular LIDAR system comprising a seed laser configured to output a beam, a modular modulator coupled to receive the beam output the seed laser and modulate the beam to create a modulated beam, a modular amplifier coupled to receive the modulated beam from the modular modulator and generate an amplified beam, and a modular transceiver chip coupled to the modular modulator and the modular amplifier, the transceiver chip configured to emit the beam perpendicularly from a first surface of the transceiver chip through an optical window; and receive a reflected beam from a target through the optical window.
