This is the LIDAR-Lite v3, a compact, high-performance optical distance measurement sensor from Garmin. When space and weight requirements are tight, the LIDAR-Lite v3 soars. The LIDAR-Lite v3 is the ideal solution for drone, robot or unmanned vehicle applications.This easy-to-use 40-meter laser-based optical ranging sensor has all the core features that made the LIDAR-Lite v2 so popular. Small in form and light in weight with low power consumption of less than 130mA during an acquisition. And its user-configurable so you can adjust between accuracy, operating range and measurement time.Each LIDAR-Lite v3 features an edge-emitting, 905nm (1.3 watts), single-stripe laser transmitter, 4 m Radian x 2 m Radian beam divergence, and an optical aperture of 12.5mm. The third version of the LIDAR-Lite still operates at 5V DC with a current consumption rate of <100mA at continuous operation. On top of everything else, the LIDAR-Lite is user-configurable, allowing adjustment between accuracy, operating range and measurement time. It can be interfaced via I2C or PWM with the included 200mm accessory cable.Note:CLASS 1LASER PRODUCT CLASSIFIED EN/IEC 60825-1 2014.

  The LIDAR-Lite v3 Laser Rangefinder by Garmin is an essential, powerful, scalable, and economical laser-based measurement solution supporting a wide variety of applications (ex. drones, general robotics, industrial sensing, and more). Measures distance, velocity, and signal strength of cooperative and non-cooperative targets at distances from zero to more than 40 meters. Offering the highest performance available in a single beam ranging sensor in its class. The new LIDAR-Lite has all of the same specifications as the legacy sensor: Up to 40-meter range capability with 1cm resolution, small size, low power consumption, and lightweight.
  

  Laser Sensor PCB:

  • NEP (PIN detector): 12nW rms, 1.5pF detector capacitance, 1 mm virtual detector size
  • Min detectable signal: 1nW – 256 integrated bursts (maximum integration time)
  • Transmit power (laser): 1.5Watts peak 14 mm @ 3amps drive, 75um single stripe laser junction
  • Transmit power (LED): 200mW within +/- 3 degree beam @ 1amp

  Features:

  • Measurement speeds of up to 500 readings per second
  • I2C communication operates at 100kbits/s or 400kbits/
  • Broadly compatible with the most basic of I2C drivers and most micro-controller boards. A status register (0x01) can be queried to indicate sensor status
  • The previous measurement value can be read anytime during an acquisition until it is overwritten by a new value. No need to wait for the sensor to become available to read data.
  • Individual sensors can have a unique I2C address
  • The base address of 0x62 can be used as the default in single sensor applications and it will also be available in multi-sensor applications as a broadcast address to initiate a command to all the LIDAR-Lites on the I2C bus
