Abstract
A modular LIDAR system comprising a seed laser configured to output a beam, a modular modulator coupled to receive the beam output the seed laser and modulate the beam to create a modulated beam, a modular amplifier coupled to receive the modulated beam from the modular modulator and generate an amplified beam, and a modular transceiver chip coupled to the modular modulator and the modular amplifier, the transceiver chip configured to emit the beam perpendicularly from a first surface of the transceiver chip through an optical window; and receive a reflected beam from a target through the optical window.
