Simultaneous ToF/FMCW LiDAR Using a Dual‐Mode Light Source in a Single Architecture
A simultaneous ToF/FMCW LiDAR architecture is demonstrated using a dual‐mode light source that alternately generates optical pulses and frequency‐chirped light within a single acquisition. By combining time‐domain ToF and coherent FMCW ranging, the system achieves high‐resolution ranging and velocity sensing while extending the measurable range beyond ...

Micro‐transfer printing enables GaAs and InP gain materials to be integrated on a commercial silicon nitride photonic platform. The resulting chip supports O‐ and C‐band comb and single‐mode lasers, demonstrating a scalable route toward multi‐material, multi‐wavelength, and multifunctional integrated light sources.

Optimized background suppression in near field lidar telescopes [PDF]
It is shown that a tilted slit in the focal plane of the lidar telescope limits the telescopes field of view efficiently and suppresses the background in the lidar signal by up to an order of magnitude better than a circular ...

Integrating Image Segmentation and Deep Learning to Improve Radio Frequency Propagation Models
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐sensor approach to improve radio frequency (RF) propagation models, which play a key role in the rapidly expanding field of connected vehicle technology. Focusing on the 1‐ to 20‐GHz frequency range, which is critical for both satellite‐to‐vehicle and base station‐to‐vehicle communications, our study introduces a ...
