How to Choose an Automotive LiDAR Emitter 905 nm vs. 1550 nm

Automotive LiDAR transmitters divide into two camps: 905 nm, which offers a mature supply chain, low chip cost, and direct silicon detector compatibility; and 1550 nm, which allows higher eye-safe optical power at the cost of pricier components and greater architectural complexity. Because each suits different range, budget, and volume needs, defining four key parameters—target detection range, power and thermal budget, unit cost ceiling, and annual production volume—will naturally determine the right wavelength.
