LiDAR APPARATUS HAVING WIDE SCANNING ANGLE RANGE

Abstract

A LIDAR apparatus includes a light source module configured to generate light, an optical transmitter configured to transmit the light generated by the light source module to outside, an optical receiver configured to receive light coming from the outside, an optical detector configured to detect the light received by the optical receiver, and a processor configured to control the operation of each of the light source module and the optical transmitter, wherein the light source module includes a first tunable laser light source configured to emit light in a first wavelength band, a second tunable laser light source configured to emit light in a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band, and a light selection element configured to select and output one of the lights emitted by the first tunable laser light source and the second tunable laser light source.
