Abstract: A distance measuring sensor includes: a light source having a semiconductor optical amplifier and a resonator with a silicon photonic circuit, which are at a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of emitters, each emitter configured to emit a light beam generated by the light source to outside of the light source; a scanner configured to perform scanning with the light beam by enabling the light beam emitted from the light source to be reflected at a mirror and vibrating the mirror; an optical receiver configured to receive a reflected light beam, which is generated by the light beam reflected at the object; and a processor configured to measure the distance to the object based on the reflected light beam received at the optical receiver. Light beams respectively emitted from the emitters are incident on the mirror in different directions. The scanner performs scanning different regions with the respective light beams.
