High-Performance Lasers for Advanced LiDAR Applications
Sivers Photonics is at the forefront of LiDAR technology, delivering high-power light sources that enable accurate distance and velocity measurements. Our high-power ridge-waveguide DFB lasers offer narrow linewidths, excellent wavelength stability, and scalability — meeting the performance demands of autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial sensing applications.
These lasers are designed for developers and manufacturers of LiDAR systems for autonomous vehicles, driver-assist systems, robotics, and industrial or environmental sensing.
Why Sivers for FMCW LiDAR?
High-yield ridge-waveguide and dual-ridge architectures ensure consistent wavelength control and performance.
Ultra-low FIT rates (<1) deliver the high-reliability required for safety-critical systems
and automotive qualification.
Etched-facet, on-wafer coated design allows full optical testing before dicing — reducing cost and improving reliability.
Lasers can be optimized for seamless hybrid SiPh integration.
On-wafer coating and testing eliminate bar processing, improving yield and scalability.
What Problems We Solve
Our CW DFB lasers provide precise wavelength control, narrow linewidths, and stable output for accurate distance and velocity measurements. With high optical power and robust operation in non-hermetic environments, they facilitate compact, high-resolution LiDAR modules with consistent performance across temperature and lifetime.
Key Benefits
- Upto 100mW power output with narrow linewidths for precise depth, proximity, and long-range LiDAR sensing.
- Ridge-waveguide design ensures single-mode operation, high yield, and low-cost manufacturability.
- Etched-facet, on-wafer coated & tested eliminates bar processing, reducing cost, simplifying assembly, and improving manufacturing yield.
- Ultra-low FIT rates and operation from 20 °C to 70 °C, suitable for high-volume applications
