From an industry perspective, the past decade has been a whirlwind of innovation in automotive light detection and ranging (LiDAR). Numerous laser technologies and system solutions have been fiercely competing for market share. However, recent trends suggest a growing convergence on vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and antireflective VCSEL (AR-VCSEL) based solutions. This commentary, rooted in the practical realities of the industry, examines the historical trajectory of industrial laser technology for commercial automotive LiDAR. It specifically focuses on the recent applications of VCSEL/AR-VCSEL technologies and their future prospects.
从行业角度来看，过去十年是汽车光检测与测距（LiDAR）领域创新的旋风期。众多激光技术和系统解决方案激烈竞争市场份额。然而，近期趋势表明，基于垂直腔面发射激光器（VCSEL）和抗反射垂直腔面发射激光器（AR-VCSEL）的解决方案正日益趋同。这篇基于行业实际情况的评论文章，审视了用于商用汽车LiDAR的工业激光技术的历史轨迹。它特别关注了VCSEL/AR-VCSEL技术的近期应用及其未来前景。
