About
Scantinel Photonics is a developer of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR sensor technology solutions for autonomous driving applications. The company offers a unique LiDAR on Chip solution operating at 1550nm wavelength with a detection range over 300 meters, designed for mass production at competitive pricing. The technology is built on seven key advantages: high reliability through silicon wafer platform integration that eliminates error-prone assembly and calibration steps; high pixel rate scalability through efficient multiplexing; long range capability using coherent ranging where every returned photon counts; simultaneous range and velocity measurement for each pixel improving object detection; robustness against sunlight and other LiDAR systems interference; compact size and low cost at volume through photonic integration of lasers, detectors, and optical components on a silicon wafer; and fast time to market using existing mature mass production processes. Headquartered in Ulm, Germany (with prior listing in Oberkochen), the company was founded in 2019 and has raised approximately 19.5 million at the Series A stage with investors including Scania Growth Capital, PhotonDelta, Scania, ZEISS, East Hill Equity, and German Accelerator.
