“Light, Detection and Ranging” and uses ultraviolet, visible, or near infrared light beams that are transmitted out and the returning light beam is read by receiver electronics. The resulting reflection of light characteristics can be used to create maps, define object shapes, and create collision avoidance systems.
SPHERICAL VS. ASPHERIC LENSES
HOW THEY’RE USED IN IMAGING APPLICATIONS
Optical Lenses are often categorized by their shape. Two common surface shapes are spherical and aspherical. Each offers unique characteristics that make it suitable for different use cases.
