Question

Do all VL53L* sensors use the same VCSEL with the same power?

I was wondering if all the VL53L* sensors use the same VCSEL illumination source with the same average and peak power. I would think the the long-range sensors (VL53L1CB) and the sensors with wide FoVs of 63 degrees, would need a more powerful VCSEL.

There are not using the same VCSEL illumination source as it impacts the different features reached.

So ST is using a set of different VCSEL.
