According to reports, the company recently released its spectral scan Green Laser pointer radar (Spectrum-Scan LiDAR). Spectral scanning uses a prism-like optical system and different wavelengths of light to create a “super eye” for autonomous vehicles, providing unprecedented data and clear vision. These are essential for safe, fully automated driving.
Spectral Scanning Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) represents a new type of laser radar that combines a wavelength-tunable laser with a prism-like optical system. Automakers, shared travel service providers, and technology giants are moving toward a fully autonomous future, and they have been plagued by the scalability, reliability, and performance issues of lidar, and the innovation addresses these issues.
Spectral scanning technology enables the green laser pointer radar to provide high performance and long range detection in systems built with simple industrial components, which greatly enhances vehicle reliability compared to similar technologies. Thanks to its flexible modular design, Baraja Lidar can be easily integrated into vehicles, allowing autonomous vehicles to intelligently control and adjust the scanning mode in real time to adapt to complex, dynamic road conditions.
Conventional lidars control light scanning roads by manually rotating the laser or using moving mirrors and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Due to the constant vibration and shock of the car, such moving parts can be unreliable, and the fine components will fail or require expensive processing to protect them. This type of traditional scanning method has the problems of high cost, low reliability, low performance, and awkward appearance, and it is difficult to integrate into existing laser radar solutions. These restrictions hinder the large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Baraja's compact modular radar sensors are connected via fiber optics, using off-the-shelf components in smartphone cameras and telecom lasers to achieve the high performance level of the green laser pointer required by the autonomous driving industry. This type of component maximizes vehicle reliability and provides this technology to the fleet on a large scale while achieving long-term cost effectiveness.
In developing the spectral scanning lidar, Baraja aims to achieve the goal of laser radar that can ultimately be integrated into vehicles. By meeting scalability, manufacturability, and reliability, Baraja uses a manufacturing-oriented design (DFM) approach to guide product development.
