Optical Engineering
for lidar range improvement
Are you a motivated student stydying optics, photonics, or optical engineering? Then we are looking for you! We need a hand in improving the performance of the Galion G6000 lidar.
Your challenge
To help increase the detection range of the Galion G6000 lidar from its current 7km to 10km.
You will investigate how optical design and system improvements can help the lidar detect targets at greater distances. This may include studying laser beam characteristics, optical components, light collection, signal strength, and/or the effects of atmospheric conditions.
You will analyse the current system, identify the main limitations, and explore possible solutions through calculations, simulations, experiments, and testing.
The goal is to turn your findings into practical improvements that bring the system closer to a 10 km range.
Starting is finishing! We are looking for someone who takes ownership of the challenge, works through problems, and stays motivated until the results are delivered.
Do you want to turn your optical knowledge into a real-world innovation? We would love to hear from you!
