High Performance Optical Distance Measurement Modules at Revolutionary Price Point

Pacer's LIDAR-Lite range of easily embedded and integrated modules targets the need for high performance, very compact optical distance measurement at a revolutionary price point. LIDAR-Lite was developed by PulsedLight Inc, and utilises a new approach which applies signal reconstruction methods, similar to those used in radar, to optical rangefinders. This enables a single chip processing implementation using programmable logic, which greatly reduces the cost of implementation.

LIDAR-Lite products range from 0-5m solutions with 1cm accuracy, which utilise an LED transmitter and Pin Diode receiver, through to 0-35m solutions which utilise Pulsed Laser Diodes at 905nm with Pin and APD receiver options. The PulsedLight single chip processing solution, in combination with minimal supporting hardware, enables a new class of optical distance measurement sensors.

LIDAR-Lite modules are easily configurable and can be used as basic building blocks for any application where a very small, low-power, high performance optical ranging sensor is desired, including collision avoidance, UAV height detection, presence detection, security applications, auto triggering and obstacle detection.

The laser PIN version of LIDAR-Lite is available now from stock at Pacer.
