# Voyant Photonics: A Tiny Lidar Chip With Huge Potential

September 03, 2019

When developing lidar sensors – size (and cost) have always been an obstacle. Even the most advanced compact lidars, flash lidars and solid state sensors are not that compact. Sure, they are better than the massive, mechanical lidars – but what if you want to apply lidar to something smaller than a car?

### Voyant Photonics

## Machine perception is within reach

Our APIs get you the most from our sensors without getting stuck in the photonic weeds. Leave the details of LiDAR to us, so you can focus on your application.
