Design and feasibility study on a compact wide-field LiDAR optical system using polygonal mirrors
This study presents the design and feasibility of a compact LiDAR optical system using polygonal mirrors (PM) with varying pyramidal angles for autonomous vehicle applications. Conventional LiDAR systems face challenges in miniaturization, cost reduction, and field of view limitations, particularly in vertical and horizontal scanning. The proposed PM-based optical system achieves a horizontal field of view (H-FoV) of 120° and a vertical field of view (V-FoV) over 25°, utilizing a cylindrical light beam incident on the PM with facets having differing pyramidal angles. Through theory-based calculation and far-field analysis, the system demonstrates improved vertical steering and minimal overlap between facets, enabling efficient three-dimensional spatial detection. Additionally, the optical design for the receiving system, integrated with a one-dimensional single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array, ensures high detection accuracy and compactness. The study verifies the system's feasibility through point cloud simulations, making it suitable for high-speed LiDAR applications in autonomous vehicles and other spatial detection scenarios.
期刊介绍:
Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims at providing an international forum for the interchange of information on the development of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering. Emphasis is placed on contributions targeted at the practical use of methods and devices, the development and enhancement of solutions and new theoretical concepts for experimental methods.
Optics and Lasers in Engineering reflects the main areas in which optical methods are being used and developed for an engineering environment. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers focusing on parameter optimization or computational issues are not suitable. Similarly, papers focussed on an application rather than the optical method fall outside the journal''s scope. The scope of the journal is defined to include the following:
-Optical Metrology-
Optical Methods for 3D visualization and virtual engineering-
Optical Techniques for Microsystems-
Imaging, Microscopy and Adaptive Optics-
Computational Imaging-
Laser methods in manufacturing-
Integrated optical and photonic sensors-
Optics and Photonics in Life Science-
Hyperspectral and spectroscopic methods-
Infrared and Terahertz techniques
