Speaker: Ravi K. Saripalli, Technology Innovation Institute (TII) In this talk, we explore the fascinating realm of structured light in 2D, 3D, and 4D contexts, highlighting its transformative impact across various applications. All light has structure, but only recently has it been possible to control it in all its degrees of freedom and dimensions, fueling fundamental advances and applications alike. We will review recent advances in structured light, from 2D transverse fields to 4D spatiotemporal light and multidimensional quantum states. This includes nonlinear interactions and high-harmonic structured light, and the role of structured-light 3D scanners in high-resolution 3D imaging. Attendees will gain insights into the latest developments and future directions in structured light. 14:20 – 14:35 Coherent Corp. Laser Precision: Advanced Optics and Sources This abstract explores the advancements in laser sources and optics for automotive LIDAR sensing, crucial for ADAS and autonomous driving. Emphasizing fiber lasers, VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers), edge-emitting lasers, and FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) chips, it highlights their roles in enhancing LIDAR performance. Advanced optics, including diffractive optical elements (DOEs), filters, waveplates, mirrors and many more are examined for their ability to improve detection accuracy and range. The synergy between cutting-edge laser technologies and sophisticated optical systems promises to elevate the reliability and efficiency of automotive LIDAR, paving the way for safer and more effective autonomous vehicle navigation. 14:40 – 14:55 TRUMPF Next Generation VCSEL devices for LPO and CPO Speaker: Roman Koerner, TRUMPF TRUMPF Photonic Components GmbH will present upcoming advancements in VCSEL technology aimed at meeting the evolving demands of the future datacom market. These improvements focus on increasing functionality per chip area to support low-noise LPO links and densely integrated CPO technology. Key innovations include subwavelength gratings to reduce RIN and burst noise, as well as composite VCSELs for improved single-mode robustness, faster speed and lower thermal impedance. Designed for wavelengths like 1060 nm and 1310 nm to minimize fiber attenuation, this technology will play a crucial role in the next generation of high-performance optical transceivers.

In the realm of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AV), seamless sensor-to-AI connectivity is paramount. IEEE Std 802.3cz revolutionizes this with speeds up to 50 Gb/s on multi-mode fiber, tailored for automotive use. Central to this is the optical transceiver, but traditional designs fall short in automotive applications. This presentation highlights the need for fresh approaches, covering multi-protocol capabilities, technology nodes, analog-digital design, and photonics integration. By addressing these challenges, we advance automotive connectivity for a safer, more efficient future. 15:20 – 15:35 CADFEM Automotive LIDAR development empowered by simulation Speaker: Ervand Kandelaki, CADFEM Automotive LIDARs play a pivotal role in modern vehicles. The use of simulation accelerates LIDAR modeling, ensuring its operational accuracy. Moreover, through simulation, LIDARs can be analyzed in diverse environmental conditions. Simulation-based analysis also contributes to determining the system’s robustness prior to deployment. This leads to the reduction in time and costs needed to do physical system testing and increases the results predictability. In this presentation, we discuss the impact of optical simulations in the context of automative LIDAR. We illustrate how different simulation concepts help address the fundamental development challenges and provide insights into state-of-the-art LIDAR simulation methodology.
