AbstractSophisticated non-mechanical technology for LIDARs is needed to realize safe autonomous cars. We have confirmed the operating principle of a non-mechanical LIDAR by combining concentric circular-grating couplers (CGCs) with a coaxially aligned rod lens. Laser light incident vertically on the center of the inner CGC along the center axis of the lens is radiated from the outer CGC and passes through the side surface of the lens. It is converted to a parallel beam that scans in two axes by applying voltages to two area-segmented electrode layers sandwiching the CGCs and a liquid crystal layer formed on the CGCs. We have demonstrated scanning whose motion ranges were 360 degrees horizontally and 10° vertically. A beam with a spread angle of 0.3° × 0.8° at a minimum swept vertically up to a frequency of 100 Hz and ten equally spaced beams scanned rotationally with a 6-degree cycle variation of spread of between 0.8° and 3.5°.

To solve the critical problem of large gear deviation on-machine: angle displacement measurement that is how to get signal acquisition and accuracy analysis of angle displacement. A new measuring method is proposed, which applies the dividing mechanism (it is composed of friction disc and circular grating) to ensure index and pick up signal of gear corner correctly and strictly according to the principle of angular displacement measurement. Furthermore, the main error which affects measurement accuracy is analyzed, and accuracy is analyzed with geometrical theory such as Fourier series and error synthesis principle etc. The experimental results indicate that angel dividing and signal samplings are easier and more efficient by the dividing mechanism, furthermore, the accuracy is in the range of total error that is permitted by verification, and the mechanism can also meet the requirement of high accuracy, so the method is significance that assessing transmission accuracy of involutes gear.
