Silicon photonics for lidar
Aeva's approach to lidar combines laser transmitters and photodetectors with lenses on board a silicon photonics platform. The FMCW technique is complex, but delivers both positional and velocity data, giving it a key advantage over conventional time-of-flight lidar sensors that have dominated the industry until now.
