Systems and methods are disclosed for a fanless design of a rotating LIDAR system with integrated cleaning and cooling. An example system may include an enclosure including one or more electronics. The example system may also include a cooling element provided externally to the enclosure, the cooling element comprising one or more horizontal fins.

Fanless design of a rotating LIDAR system with integrated cleaning and cooling

Systems and methods are provided herein for improved short range object detection in LiDAR systems. The associated systems may include a first portion and a second portion configured to rotate relative to one another. The system may also include a first magnet located on the second portion and arranged with a north pole of the first magnet facing a first direction. The system may also include a second magnet located on the second portion and arranged with a south pole of the second magnet facing the first direction. The system may also include a first sensor located on the first portion. The first sensor is further configured to measure a first magnetic field of the first magnet and a second magnetic field of the second magnet as the first portion and second portion rotate relative to one another.

Systems and methods for tracking a position of a rotating platform of a lidar system

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for using a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) receiver optical design. A vehicle anamorphic LIDAR system may include a group of rotationally symmetric lenses, a first cylindrical lens, and a second cylindrical lens, wherein the first cylindrical lens is arranged between the group of rotationally symmetric lenses and the second cylindrical lens, wherein the vehicle anamorphic LIDAR system is associated with a first focal length in a first direction associated with a scene field of view, and a second focal length in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and associated with an instantaneous field of view, and wherein the first focal length is different than the second focal length.
