Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasingly being used as a primary light source both indoors and outdoors. In addition to their role as efficient lighting, LEDs also offer potential for new applications in sensor technology like visible light sensing (VLS) thanks to their high switching speed. VLS uses several terahertz (THz) of license-free bandwidth within the visible electromagnetic spectrum. These properties make the technology attractive for a wide range of applications.

This project focuses on the development of an LED-based frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (lidar) systems for vehicles.
