WOW!

I stumbled across a youtube video called “The end of mechanical optics – the game changer.” normally these sort of hyperbolic statements mean I won’t watch it. this time though, introduced me to something I haven’t seen before. WOW! this is really amazing, had a little trouble understanding what it’s all about but some further sluething and I found this:

this is pretty astonishing.

I still don’t know how they are recieving the beam without optics (as shown in the original video) but since they control the emission, they probably have the bare sensor just picking up everything, and then filtering down to the specific wavelength that the beamform non-optic is sending out:

“Basically, you send the light, and you measure when it comes back, and when it comes back, you know exactly where everything is.”
