## Description

The pure solid-state laser radar adopts advanced metasurface lens technology and is based on the continuous-wave Time-of-Flight (cwToF) principle. Coupled with related optical and electrical designs, it achieves wide-angle and high-precision distance measurement. It **supports both UART and USB2.0 communication**, providing outputs in the form of depth maps and infrared grayscale images. With a **resolution of 160x60 and a wide field of view of 108°x40°**, it can **measure distances up to 4.5 meters** and is resistant to ambient light up to 60Klux, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its primary applications include **volume measurement, access control security, people counting, unmanned forklifts, and robot obstacle avoidance**.

**Metasurface Lens Technology**

Metasurface lens technology utilizes nanostructures to control the propagation of light, achieving super-resolution imaging, holography, or projection. Unlike traditional cameras that only capture 2D images, this technology can enhance the existing 2D images by adding depth, distance, and directional information, thereby capturing a more comprehensive 3D perspective.

**Wide Field of View**

The radar offers an impressive 108° horizontal and 40° vertical field of view, allowing it to cover a broad area and capture more detailed information within its range.

**High Resolution**

With a resolution of 160x60, the radar can provide detailed depth maps and infrared grayscale images, essential for precise measurements and applications that require high accuracy.

**Solid-State Structure**

The pure solid-state design ensures long life and durability, eliminating the moving parts found in traditional radars, which can wear out over time.

**Ambient Light Resistance**

The radar can function effectively in environments with ambient light up to 60Klux, ensuring reliable performance both indoors and outdoors.

**Easy Communication**

Supporting both UART and USB2.0, this radar is easy to integrate with various systems, enhancing its versatility and ease of use.
