Abstract
The present disclosure relates to various embodiments of an optical package for a LIDAR sensor system having a substrate including an array of a plurality of capacitors formed in the substrate, a plurality of switches formed in the substrate, where each switch is connected between at least one laser diode and at least one capacitor of the plurality of capacitors; and at least one laser diode being mounted in close proximity to the plurality of capacitors on the substrate in order to provide small parasitic inductances and capacitances. A processor is configured to control the plurality of switches to control a first current flow to charge the plurality of capacitors, wherein the processor is configured to control the plurality of switches to control a second current flow to drive the at least one laser diode with current discharged from at least one capacitor of the plurality of capacitors.
