A LiDAR device comprising: a transmission module including a laser emitting array and a first lens assembly, wherein the laser emitting array is configured to emit a plurality of lasers at a first wavelength and wherein the first lens assembly is configured to steer the plurality of lasers at different angles within a first angle range; a reception module including a laser detecting array and a second lens assembly, wherein the laser detecting array includes at least two detectors for detecting at least a portion of the plurality of lasers and wherein the second lens assembly is configured to distribute the plurality of lasers to the at least two detectors; wherein the second lens assembly comprise: at least four lens layers including a first lens layer, a second lens layer, a third lens layer and a fourth lens layer; at least two gap layers including a first gap layer and a second gap layer; and a filter layer located in the first gap layer.

LiDAR device

A LiDAR device including a emitting unit configured to emit a laser, a detecting unit configured to detect the laser, and a controller configured to control the emitting unit and the detecting unit, wherein the controller is configured to operate the LiDAR device at in at least a first operation mode or a second operation mode in which power consumption per unit time is lower than that of the first operation mode, and wherein the controller is configured to switch an operation mode of the LiDAR device from the first operation mode to the second operation mode when the controller receives a first trigger signal from a first device, and switch the operation mode of the LiDAR device from the second operation mode to the first operation mode when the controller receives a second trigger signal from the first device.

LiDAR device having a smart power management system and an operating method of the lidar device implementing the smart power management system

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array, comprising: a first sub-array includes a plurality of VCSEL units arranged along a first axis, and wherein the first sub-array includes: a first VCSEL unit includes a first upper contact and a first bottom contact; and a second VCSEL unit includes a second upper contact and a second bottom contact; a first contact electrically connected to the first upper contact and the second bottom contact; and a second contact electrically connected to the second upper contact and the first bottom contact, wherein the first VCSEL unit is operated when a first voltage is applied to the first contact and a second voltage smaller than the first voltage is applied to the second contact, and wherein the second VCSEL unit is operated when the second voltage is applied to the first contact and the first voltage is applied to the second contact.
