Utility
Lidar System with Coarse Angle Control
3 Aug 23
According to various embodiments, a LIDAR system (100) may have: a detector (104) having a plurality of detector pixels (106) arranged along a first direction, wherein each detector pixel (106) of the plurality of detector pixels (106) is assigned to a respective sub-section of the field of view (102); a light source (110) having a plurality of sub-light sources (112) arranged along a second direction at an angle to the first direction, wherein each sub-light source (112) of the plurality of sub-light sources (112) is assigned to a respective sub-section of the field of view (102); a coarse angle control element (114) which is configured to deflect light from the light source (110) to the field of view and to deflect light from the field of view (102) to the detector (104); and a light emission controller (118) which is configured to control the sub-light sources (112) of the plurality of sub-light sources (112) in such a way that each sub-light source (112) of the plurality of sub-light sources (112) emits light in a respective emission time period.
