which has become a very hot technology due to artificial intelligence (AI) booming. This project will develop_x000D_
the technologies for design of optical transmitters that can be used for LiDAR and also have features of 120_x000D_
lines and more than 180 degree of view field. The works include design of electric driving circuit, and_x000D_
alignment of laser diode array for better view coverage._x000D_
Since AI is booming in the world and also in Canada, there are many companies in Canada and the world_x000D_
developing driverless vehicles, which require LiDARs. Therefore, developed technologies and trained HQP_x000D_
will benefit Canada., program purpose french : Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) can detect, locate and measure/image objects in a given field of view,_x000D_
