Where to Buy LIDAR Equipment

Lumibird offering in lasers for LiDAR is large, thanks to its expertise in several key laser technologies: diodes for ADAS, diode-pumped or flashlamp-pumped pulsed Nd:YAG lasers for atmospheric LiDAR, pulsed fiber lasers in turnkey benchtops or in OEM modules for wind LiDAR, 3D scanning or ADAS. Lumibird lasers are designed for use in harsh environment and are easy to integrate into systems.

Whether the application is Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) or Time-of-Flight (ToF) LIDAR, Eblana Photonics’ Discrete-Mode (DM) laser diodes are suitable in a wide range of operating environments, with inherently narrow linewidth and excellent tunability as well as high scalable production capability – crucial for automotive markets.

Focuslight Technologies offers components for LIDAR systems, namely flash LIDAR transmitters and line beam LIDAR transmitters. We also have DMS illuminators.

TOPTICA’s added value for LIDAR systems is in providing best cw seeding lasers and external references. With their extremely narrow linewidth, high frequency stability and unmatched wavelength availability, TOPTICA's scientific lasers are ideal seeders for the high power pulsed lasers employed for LIDAR. Fiber coupling with the ultrastable FiberDock allows for straight forward implementation of our lasers. We also offer the most accurate and most stable wavelength meters, Fabry–Perot interferometers (FPI 100) and spectroscopy cells or spectroscopy modules as well as electronic locking modules which are needed to stabilize a cw diode laser to an external reference.
