Reference number : GC-2017-Q1-00382, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Ben Mrad, Ridha (University of Toronto), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : DASAEROSPACE is developing a LiDAR system for use in urban rail, autonomous vehicles and mobile_x000D_
robots. A collaboration with the University of Toronto Mechatronics and Microsystems Design research group_x000D_
is being sought to develop a 2-axis MEMS mirror which will be utilized in the scanning mechanism of the_x000D_
LiDAR system. The development of a MEMS mirror is critical to the success of the LiDAR system and at_x000D_
present there is no such mirror available on the market which satisfies all the system requirements. The_x000D_
company is currently using commercial-off-the-shelf MEMS mirrors which offer limited capabilities in terms_x000D_
of range, resolution, and field of view. The focus of this Engage project is to developed the fast-tilting MEMS_x000D_
mirror of the largest possible size (aperture) and with the widest possible tilt angles. The mirror should be_x000D_
suitable for serial manufacturing and should withstand environmental factors such as vibration and temperature_x000D_
fluctuations. The key desired mirror specifications are as follows: 1.Aperture: ~10 mm; 2.Tilt angles 2D: +/-_x000D_
30 deg. (mechanical) along the inplane X and Y axes; 3. Frequency: >1 kHz (fast axis), > 5 Hz (slow axis)., program purpose french : DASAEROSPACE is developing a LiDAR system for use in urban rail, autonomous vehicles and mobile_x000D_
