Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system for a vehicle can include: a light source configured to output a beam; a photonics integrated circuit (PIC) including a semiconductor die, the semiconductor die comprising a substrate having two or more semiconductor devices formed on the substrate, the two or more semiconductor devices configured to receive the beam from the light source and modify the beam and at least one photonics die coupled to the semiconductor die, the at least one photonics die comprising at least a transmitter configured to receive the beam from the semiconductor die; and one or more optics configured to receive the beam from the transmitter and emit the beam towards an object in an environment of the vehicle.
