Syntec Optics has been a pioneer in the application of game-changing optics and photonics solutions to new emerging frontiers in science and technology. Driverless cars are no exception. Driverless cars (self-driving cars or autonomous cars) are vehicles that can sense their environment and navigate without human input, monitoring fixed and movable objects. They have the potential to transform mobility. The benefits offered by self-driving cars include increased safety, better transportation options for children, the elderly and disabled, reduced parking places and traffic issues and new business models. Syntec Optics can provide phase arrays, detector arrays, optical waveguides, laser optics, IR optics, machine vision components, micro-optics for beam shaping and focusing and photonic integrated circuit (PIC) components for autonomous transportation solutions. Get in touch with our optical manufacturing experts at Syntec Optics for all your optics and photonics needs for developing optical sensing applications.

Fingerprints are one of many forms of biometrics used for identification and authorization purposes in numerous applications. Fingerprint recognition is one of the most popular biometric technologies because of its ease of use. Hardware used in fingerprint readers utilizes different optical sensors to capture fingerprints. As well, software applications for fingerprint recognition use sophisticated algorithms to extract matching features like minutae. Image enhancement and fingerprint matching are equally important stages in software development.

Laser scanners e.g. LIDAR, combine controlled steering of laser beams with a laser rangefinder. By taking a distance measurement at every direction the scanner rapidly captures the surface shape of objects, buildings and landscapes. Construction of a full 3D model involves combining multiple surface models obtained from different viewing angles, or the admixing of other known constraints. Small objects can be placed on a revolving pedestal, in a technique akin to photogrammetry. Most laser scanners use moveable mirrors to steer the laser beam. Scanning refractive optics – When two Risley prisms are rotated against each other, a beam of light can be scanned at will inside a cone. Such scanners are used for tracking missiles. When two optical lenses are moved or rotated against each other, a laser beam can be scanned in a way similar to mirror scanners. Phased array scanning – laser scanning through phased arrays. This method is used to scan radar beams without moving parts. With the use of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSELs), it might be possible to realize fast laser scanners in the foreseeable future.
