Optical Components for LiDAR

Precision, Durability, and Smart Thermal Control for Autonomous Mobility

Next-generation LiDAR technology focuses on delivering higher precision, longer range, greater reliability, and enhanced environmental resilience to support advanced autonomous driving and driver assistance systems.

Materion's LiDAR components are engineered to deliver ultra-accurate scanning for precise object detection, even at long ranges. Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, our robust designs and advanced optical coatings ensure clear, uninterrupted signal transmission in rain, fog, dust, and more.

POLYGON MIRRORS WITH HIGH SCANNING PRECISION

Our LiDAR polygon mirrors feature specialized thin-film coatings and robust mechanical designs that deliver excellent scanning resolution and repeatability. These mirrors are engineered for long-range LiDAR applications, providing consistent performance and extended service life.

OPTICAL COATINGS FOR CLEAR SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

Advanced anti-reflective (AR) and hydrophobic coatings reduce signal loss and prevent contamination on optical surfaces. These coatings maintain clarity and improve sensor efficiency, even in challenging weather such as rain, fog, or dust.

PROTECTIVE WINDOWS

Materion offers protective windows with integrated heating elements and wavelength-optimized AR coatings to ensure clear, uninterrupted signal transmission. 

CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

We tailor LiDAR components and coatings to specific system requirements is key to optimizing performance and reliability. Customized solutions allow precise control over factors like scanning range, resolution, and environmental resilience, ensuring each LiDAR system meets its unique challenges. By adapting designs to exact needs, tailored components enhance efficiency, reduce maintenance, and deliver superior results in real-world conditions.
