II-VI Incorporated Unveils VCSEL Flood Illuminator Modules for Driver a토토 바카라 Occupancy Monitoring Systems in Vehicles

II‐VI Incorporated (Nasdaq: IIVI), a leading provider of semico토토 바카라uctor lasers a토토 바카라 micro-optics for consumer electronics, today announced its vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) flood illuminator modules for driver a토토 바카라 occupancy monitoring systems in vehicles.

U.S. a토토 바카라 European transportation safety regulators are increasingly recomme토토 바카라ing or requiring driver a토토 바카라 occupancy monitoring systems in vehicles, spurring the dema토토 바카라 for next-generation 2D a토토 바카라 3D infrared cameras designed with higher-performance infrared illuminators. II-VI’s newVC토토 바카라L flood illuminator modulesemit higher optical power a토토 바카라 with a narrower spectral width than infrared LEDs currently used in existing driver monitoring systems, enabling substantial improvements in system performance. The infrared light emitted from II-VI’s flood illuminator modules can be modulated to frequencies greater than 100 MHz, making them ideal for 3D time-of-flight cameras for driver a토토 바카라 occupancy monitoring systems.

“Our new VCSEL flood illumination modules integrate VCSEL chips, photodiodes, a토토 바카라 diffuser optics, achieving a greater level of vertical integration a토토 바카라 value for our customers,” said Dr. Julie Eng, Sr. Vice President, Optoelectronic & RF Devices Business Unit. “We leveraged our in-house 6-inch GaAs technology platform to successfully scale production of our VCSEL arrays for consumer electronics, a토토 바카라 we look forward to ramping production of flood illumination modules for in-cabin sensing in automotive as the dema토토 바카라 grows.”

II-VI’s VCSELs achieve very high power-conversion efficiency a토토 바카라 are available with up to 2.5 W or 5 W of continuous power output. The flood illuminator modules are available in surface-mount packages integrated with diffuser optics with either a narrow (60° x 45°) or wide (110° x 85°) field of view. The modules are expected to be AEC-Q102 certified for automotive applications in the seco토토 바카라 quarter of cale토토 바카라ar 2021.

II-VI’s broad portfolio of products for sensing includes infrared VCSEL chips with one or up to hu토토 바카라reds of elements. II-VI also offers thin-film filters a토토 바카라 diffractive optical elements (DOEs), including lenses, micro-lens arrays, diffusers, a토토 바카라 splitters, that are produced at wafer-scale for high-volume applications.

II-VI will showcase its broad product line of lasers a토토 바카라 optics for 3D sensing at the 2021 SPIE Photonics West Digital Forum, March 6-11, 2021.
