After the discovery of laser by American scholar Maiman in 1960, it was quickly applied to the field of ranging, mainly with the wavelength of 905nm and 1550nm. The lidar is a radar system that detects the position, speed and other characteristics of the target by emitting a laser beam, which is the most common field of laser application. Driven by the capital wave, the competition in the lidar industry has reached an unprecedented hot period. More and more relevant industrial line manufacturers in the Chinese market have also joined the market competition. How to reduce costs and increase efficiency and enter mass production is the key point of the current industry development.

At present, the mainstream lidar products in the market include mechanical lidar, solid-state lidar and hybrid solid-state lidar. No matter what type of radar is, the chip, as its core component, is the key point for each manufacturer to focus on. Laerte X8 series chips are a kind of edge emitting laser 8 array chips with a wavelength of about 905nm, a three-layer light-emitting unit and high peak power. They have the characteristics of low working current, small far field divergence angle and high reliability. They are mainly used in laser radars. They have reached the mass production level and can be stably supplied. They are the best choice for radar manufacturers to reduce costs.

Due to the divergent mode of array chips, radar manufacturers will have higher requirements on the collimation process in practical applications. As a manufacturer that has been deeply engaged in the laser transmitter collimation process for many years, Laerte has a mature laser transmitter collimation system, which can provide collimation services on the basis of stable mass production, save more time and energy for customers, and achieve a perfect win-win effect.

In the future, Laerte Optoelectronics will continue to expand more products in the field of optoelectronics and promote technological innovation, adhering to the service concept of "customer centered".
