About This Webinar
Jens Krause and Anand Pandy provide information on a broad range of emitters and detectors for your lidar designs. From laser levels and surveying equipment to advanced robotics, range finders, and lidar mapping systems, today's products demand enhanced vision components with innovative performance, robust designs, and value-added engineering. Excelitas Technologies' next-generation pulsed laser diode emitters and high-performance avalanche photodiode (APD) sensors empower the vision of tomorrow by extending range, reducing power requirements, and helping to keep projects on spec and on budget. Excelitas' packaging and assembly strategies are key to offering the best quality for high-volume applications.
Excelitas' wide portfolio of pulsed laser diodes and avalanche photodiodes are best suited for industrial lidar applications. From 400 to 1700 nm, the PIN and APD photodiodes offer the best performance for individual applications, independent of the scanning mechanism used, while the pulsed laser diodes offer a wide range of output powers, emission sizes, and electrical properties, enabling applications with any size and power requirement.
