Abstract

Provided is a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) apparatus including a light source configured to generate light, an optical transmitter configured to emit the light generated by the light source to outside of the LiDAR apparatus, an optical receiver configured to receive light from the outside of the LiDAR apparatus, a resonance-type photodetector configured to selectively amplify and detect light having a same wavelength as a wavelength of light generated by the light source among the light received by the optical receiver, and a processor configured to control the light source and the resonance-type photodetector, wherein the resonance-type photodetector includes a resonator, a phase modulator provided on the resonator and configured to control a phase of light traveling along the resonator based on control of the processor, and an optical detector configured to detect an intensity of the light traveling along the resonator.
