Embodiment Construction

[0098] A ranging device according to an embodiment of the present technology is described.

[0099] [Configuration of distance measuring device]

[0100] figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the distance measuring device 100 according to the present embodiment. As shown, the ranging device 100 includes a light emitting unit 101 , a light emitting controller 102 , a light receiving unit 103 and a distance measuring calculation section 104 .

[0101] The light emitting unit 101 uses the illumination light L whose brightness changes periodically I to irradiate the measurement target P. When the light emission control signal S is supplied from the light emission controller 102, the light emission unit 101 generates the illumination light L in synchronization with the light emission control signal S. I . The configuration of the light emitting unit 101 will be described later.

[0102] The light emission controller 102 controls light emission of the light ...

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a light-emitting element and a distance measuring device that have a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structure and are suitable for long-distance light irradiation. [Solution] A light-emitting element pertaining to the present technology is provided with a plurality of light-emitting parts, a first electrode terminal, and a second electrode terminal. The plurality of light-emitting parts are vertical cavity surface-emitting laser elements and are provided with a first electrode and a second electrode, in which the light-emitting parts that emit light when a current flows from the first electrode to the second electrode are arranged in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of light emitted from the light-emitting parts in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional manner. The first electrode terminal is electrically connected to the first electrode. The second electrode terminal is electrically connected to the second electrode. A resistance of a current path from the first electrode terminal through one of the plurality of light emitting portions to the second electrode terminal is different from a resistance of a current path from the first electrode terminal through another of the plurality of light emitting portions to the second electrode terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology relates to a light emitting element having a vertical cavity surface emitting laser structure and a distance measuring device. Background technique [0002] The time-of-flight (ToF) method is a ranging method. In the TOF method, light is emitted by a light emitter, and light reflected from a measurement target object is detected by a detector. This makes it possible to measure the three-dimensional shape of the measurement target object. [0003] For example, there is known a distance measuring method that includes diffusing light rays respectively emitted from a plurality of light emitters by a diffusion plate, irradiating the diffused light rays onto a measurement target range, and including two-dimensionally arranged The photodetector of the light receiving / transmitting section detects the reflected light. In this distance measuring method, outgoing light is diffused by a diffuser plate. Therefore, short-distance measurements can ...
