Sensors Expo & Conference 2018

If we can’t find alternative sources of energy for ultra-low-power optoelectronic devices that are mostly asleep, can we do even more with less? The trend is that more devices, displays, and sensors are designed to run on static batteries or alternative energy sources. The need for ultra-efficient devices is becoming more critical to technology development. 

Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology enables reliable and cost-effective 3D vision with high frame and low latency. This session explains fundamental TOF principles, trade-offs, typical application scenarios, challenges, and how TOF compares to other technologies. Finally, we look at some applications where TOF is successfully used.

Worldwide LiDAR adoption began with 3D mobile mapping, the key building block to the Mobility Revolution, but has since evolved to impact various industries. This session addresses the importance of LiDAR technology and delves into how LiDAR provides the accurate distance and reflectivity measurements at highway speeds, enabling advanced level 4 and level 5 autonomous vehicles, as well as level 2 and level 3 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) enabled vehicles.

This session discusses the past, today, and future of optical spectroscopy, especially for personal everyday applications. In contrast to other fast-moving IT technologies and industries, the optical spectroscopy technology and industry is decades behind due to lack of technology breakthrough from everyday applications perspective. Recently, multiple big markets show growing needs in spectral sensing capability and also require an ultra-compact size and at affordable cost. This session discusses and compares different technologies and solutions, and their strengths and potential issues. Lastly, the session attempts to forecast the future trends and market potentials of optical spectroscopy markets.
