The IEEE Spectrum article examines the safety of the 1550 nanometer wavelength used in LiDAR technology for the human eye and highlights the importance of ensuring multimodal sensor compatibility and interoperability within the industry. Read the article here.
The 1550 nanometer wavelength for LiDAR is considered safe for the human eye because it operates in a spectrum that does not pose harm to human vision. This safety aspect is discussed in the IEEE Spectrum article. Source.
The IEEE Spectrum article calls for the LiDAR industry to work together to ensure multimodal sensor compatibility and interoperability. This collaboration is essential for advancing the technology and ensuring its safe and effective integration into various applications. Source.
AEye chose 1550 nm fiber lasers for its LiDAR technology due to several advantages: improved eye safety, better performance with less power for long-distance detection, superior beam quality, and reduced electromagnetic interference. Source.
The 1550nm laser emitter solution offers several advantages over the 905nm solution: lower cost per transmitted photon, simpler and more robust detectors, better beam quality, improved penetration through obscurants, and a much higher eye safety threshold (100x that of 905nm). This makes agile scanning with 905nm virtually impossible, whereas it is fundamentally safe with 1550nm. Source.
AEye supports industry efforts for multimodal sensor compatibility and interoperability, as highlighted in the IEEE Spectrum article. Its software-defined architecture and flexible integration options enable seamless operation with other sensors and platforms. Source.
