Autonomous driving demands sensor technology that delivers precision, reliability, and long-range performance every second. LiDAR systems capture the environment in three dimensions, regardless of lighting conditions, and enable safe, real-time decision-making. With its new 5-junction edge-emitting laser, ams OSRAM introduces a key component that elevates these systems to a new level of performance.

Compared to the previous 3-junction technology, the new laser offers significantly higher optical peak power while consuming less electrical current. The 3-junction laser alrea…
