We present the demonstration of an integrated frequency modulated continuous wave LiDAR on a silicon platform. The waveform calibration, the scanning system, and the balanced detectors are implemented on a chip. Detection and ranging of a moving hard target at upto 60 m with less than 5 mW of output power is demonstrated in this paper.
