Innovative and Emerging Lidar Beam Steering Technologies

Beam steering is an important part in a lidar system. Four types of the most commonly used beam steering technologies are mechanical, MEMS (microelectromechanical system), flash, and OPA (optical phased array). At the same time, there are quite a few emerging beam steering technologies being developed by various players. This premium article will show you the less common beam steering technologies with detailed explanations.
