Abstract: Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems and methods of operating the LiDAR systems are provided. The LiDAR system includes a light emitter configured to emit first lights of different wavelengths in a vertical direction and at different scanning angles with respect to a horizontal axis, a lens configured to converge second lights that are reflected from objects on which the first lights are emitted, and a light filter comprising an active-type device configured to adjust a transmission central wavelength of the active-type device to the different wavelengths of the first lights that are emitted from the light emitter. The LiDAR system further includes a controller configured to control an operation of the light emitter and the light filter, and a detector configured to detect light from the light emitter, and obtain information about the objects.

Abstract: An object detection device and an operating method thereof are provided. The object detection device detects light and outputs a received signal, which is an electrical signal, time-delays a part of the received signal with respect to a rest of the received signal, converts the rest of the received signal into a digital signal, converts the time-delayed part of the received signal into one or more time-delayed digital signals, and determines a distance to an object based on the digital signal and the one or more time-delayed digital signals.
