    PulsedLight targets the need for high


    performance, ver y compact optical
    distance measurement sensor s for
    applications such as robotics and UAVs
    where a very small, low-power, high
    performance, reduced cost optical ranging
    sensor is desired.
    Our single chip processing solution in
    combination with minimal suppor ting
    hardware enables a new class of optical
    distance measurement sensors.
    PulsedLights goal is to make our
    tech n ology available in an easily
    configurable sensor module that can be
    used as the basic building block for sensor
    applications in robotics, UAV and Maker
    projects.

    Technology
    Our single board implementation uses
    as its standard emitter an 850nm LED.
    The design also supports the substitution
    of a variety of other optical sources such
    as VCSEL's (Ver tical-Cavity SurfaceEmitting Lasers) or edge emitting lasers.
    The laser version of LIDAR-Lite uses an
    edge emitting, 905nm, single stripe laser.
    This Laser Product is designated as Class 1
    during all procedures of operation,
    however operating the sensor without its
    optics or housing or making modifications
    to the housing can result in direct
    exposure to laser radiation and the risk of
    permanent eye damage.

    Technology innovations

    The use of a signature matching

    technique (known as signal correlation)


    that estimates time delay by
    electronically sliding a stored transmit
    reference over the received signal in
    order to find the best match.
    Operation of the infrared LED or laser
    in short bursts allowing a 100:1
    advantage in peak output power over
    measurement systems using a
    continuous beam.
    A novel current driver technology with
    nanosecond signal transition times at
    high peak currents to produce high
    power transmit burst sequences.
    A signal processing approach
    implementable in a single
    programmable logic chip.

    Other Innovations
    While not implemented in LIDAR-Lite,
    other innovations to be released in future
    products include;

    Detector switching technology allowing

    multiple detectors to be processed by


    a single signal-processing channel.
    Enabling compact multichannel systems.
    Multiple digital processing cores
    implementable in a single
    programmable logic chip enable use of
    our technology in high resolution
    machine vision or scanning systems.

    The standard detector is based on a Si


    PIN diode, but optionally, could support a
    Si Avalanche Photo-Diode (APD) for
    greater sensitivity and range. Use of an
    APD would require external power and
    temperature compensation circuitry and
    provisions have been made to allow for
    access to the detector bias input circuit..
