Automotive

Photonics technologies are a source of increasing innovation for both vehicle automation and production.

Main segments are:

  • Advanced lighting systems based on LEDs and OLEDs save energy and can be automatically controlled.
  • Interactive screens provided by OLED technology provide high-quality images and save energy.
  • PICs (Photonic Integrated Circuits) allow enhanced functionality and reliability of photonic components and electronic in small chips that do not occupy space.
  • LIDAR (Laser Imaging, Detection and Ranging) to detect the position, speed, and distance of objects – a fundamental requirement for autonomous and ADAS driving.
  • Sensors for acquiring information about the environment and the mechanical and electrical properties of the vehicle.
