Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor-based LIDAR sensor system for a vehicle, includes: providing a semiconductor optical device in a first alignment position within the LIDAR sensor system; obtaining an interference pattern associated with a first light beam that passes through the semiconductor optical device at a first location and a second light beam that passes through the semiconductor optical device at a second location; determining a position of the first location relative to the second location based on the interference pattern; and aligning the semiconductor optical device in a second alignment position within the LIDAR sensor system, based on the position of the first location relative to the second location.
