Abstract
A dual path configuration Integrated LiDAR architecture can contain a focal plane transmitter and a focal plane coherent receiver. The integrated LiDAR transmitter can contain an optical frequency chirp generator and a focal plane optical beam scanner with integrated driving electronics. The integrated LiDAR receiver architecture can be implemented with per-pixel coherent detection and amplification.
