The MEMS scanner is made of monocrystalline silicon, which has a reflective coating that intensifies the LiDAR's ranging lasers. The more light captured by the sensor, the more accurately the distance to the object can be determined. Positioning technology integrated with the scanner's chip allows it to continuously track where the mirror steers the laser beam and which position is being measured.The new technology is already being used by AEye, a San Francisco-based company that specialises in advanced computer vision for autonomous vehicles.
