dc.description.abstractA novel method of beam steering that utilizes a mass-produced Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) enables a large field of view and reliable single chip Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR). Using a short pulsed laser, the micromirrors' rotation is frozen mid-transition which forms a programmable blazed grating which efficiently redistributes the light to a single diffraction order, among several. With a nanosecond 905nm laser and Si avalanche photo diode, measurement accuracy of < 1 cm for 3340 points/sec is demonstrated over a 1 m distance range and with a 48° full field of view.
