Abstract

Laser beam steering is an essential function for LiDAR. Phase Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) provides a capability of steering beam in a fast and random-access manner but suffers from limited FOV and side lobes. In this paper, we present a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device)-PLM hybrid beam steering concept that features high resolution, large-FOV, and side-lobe free beam steering.
