ams ILLUMINATOR_EVM_SN Evaluation kit

The TARA2000-AUT is designed for the new generation of 2D and 3D optical in-cabin sensing applications, where a high power illumination and high signal-to-noise ratio is needed under all circumstances. VCSEL based illumination enables maximum image quality with minimum PCB footprint, and combined with a narrow spectral bandwidth ensures robustness against sunlight and sunglass reflections inside the car. The ultra-compact module is designed and manufactured with ams‘ state-of-the-art opto-electronics component manufacturing processes and is AECQ-102 and ISO26262 compliant, a first in its class. TARA2000-AUT can be used both for 2D NIR-imaging and for 3D sensing systems such as time-of-flight and stereo vision. Different wavelength options offer flexibility to customers using different optical systems, and multiple FOI options make sure there is a good fit for each application such as driver monitoring, interior monitoring, or gesture sensing.

The EGA2000 module is specifically designed for open-space monochromatic infrared high power uniform illumination. The ultra-compact modules are assembled with ams‘ state-of-the-art opto-electronics component manufacturing processes and are reflow solderable. These modules, using laser illumination, allow improved efficiency, reduced footprint, and overall improved system performance. EGA2000 can be used for illumination in conjunction with industrial 3D sensing cameras as well as 2D imaging systems for a variety of applications like object dimension detection in robotics and logistics, 3D mapping of the environment for autonomous guided vehicles (AGV) including household robots, 3D face authentication for e-locks and e-payment terminals and illumination in night vision systems. The EGA2000 modules produce high optical output power at either 850nm or 940nm with three field of illumination options: Narrow, Wide and Ultra-Wide.

BELAGO1.1 is a proprietary infrared dot-pattern illuminator for stereoscopic imaging and structured light platforms with eye-safety feature. It produces a focus-free, high-contrast dot pattern that algorithms can use to address low-texture situations and achieve high-accuracy depth maps. An additional benefit of the dot pattern is a reduction of the computational load required to perform the depth calculation.The BELAGO1.1 dot-pattern illuminator is provided in a miniature package that is compatible with standard lead-free reflow processes. As such, it can be successfully used onboard of a great variety of 3D sensing platforms, from mobile to IoT to robotics, both for stereoscopic imaging and structured light. BELAGO1.1 emitters project 5k dots, focus-free, in a random pattern at 940nm.

BELICE-SD is a proprietary infrared dot-pattern illuminator for stereoscopic imaging platforms. It produces a very high-contrast dot pattern that stereo-matching algorithms can use to address low-texture situations and achieve high-accuracy depth maps. An additional benefit of the dot pattern is a reduction of the computational load required to perform the depth calculation. The BELICE-SD dot-pattern illuminator is provided in a miniature package that is compatible with standard lead-free reflow processes. As such, it can be successfully used onboard of a great variety of 3D sensing platforms, from mobile to IoT to robotics. A pair of BELICE-SD emitters produce approximately 10k dots at 850nm. A 940nm version is currently under development.
