We propose a ferroelectric liquid crystal Dammann grating (FLCDG) based polarization modulated depth-mapping system. Innovatively, FLCDG is used as high-speed shutter in this system. The application of FLCDG enables LiDAR as one-shot capturing system instead of iterative scanning. Moreover, the proposed device shows a fast data-collection time period (50μs) for per 49 points that can be further increased depending on the damman grating, and provide low cost solution to the problem.
