LiDAR Polygon Mirror


LiDAR Polygon Mirror for Projection Display


LiDAR Polygon Mirrors are essential components for mechanical scanning in LiDAR systems. The sensing range, number of beam lines, resolution, repeatability, and scan angle are all critical attributes of the mirror. Polygon mirror products from Materion Balzers Optics provide optimum scanning performance for LiDAR sensors. Our coating technology and integration solutions enable your LiDAR system to achieve outstanding optical and durability performance. We have optimized coating designs for large incidence of angles (AOI) to provide excellent reflectivity and consequently increases the LiDAR's the field of view (FOV) and detection distance. Materion Balzers Optics is also able to integrate a rotational solution to achieve an excellent scanning resolution as a package. Materion Balzers Optics technology is flexible in handling various substrate geometries and materials, enabling your LiDAR system to realize specific design targets.
