This NASA materials research study will evaluate the feasibility of producing optical fibers in a zero-gravity environment.

Researchers mixed two optical outputs of a laser comb and modulated the result, then emitted this energy via an integrated dipole antenna to create an RF signal in the 5 GHz band.

Thanks to the high-edge quality of the nanoPerforation process, there is little, or no post processing required.

As lidar use becomes more prevalent, interference-prone AM systems are less effective and unsafe.

A new chip leverages sub-THz wavelengths for object recognition and could help steer driverless cars through fog.

Announcing the first hardware- and software-algorithm-based solution for the mass production of safer autonomous cars.

Whether type-II superlattice or other exotic semiconductor architecture forced to operate in cryogenic, room-temperature, or hot conditions, infrared photodetectors are advancing for all wavelengths from SWIR through VLWIR.

Because GPS is prone to interference errors and lidar is expensive, a basic monocular camera and LED-based visible light communication is a lower-cost, more sensible option to accomplish autonomous vehicle-to-vehicle positioning.

VRCO will exclusively use Quanergy’s S3 solid-state lidar in the testing and market release versions of the aircraft.
