According to one aspect, an optical transceiver includes a substrate and a laser fixed to a first surface of the substrate, the laser generating output light for transmission along a transmission axis into a region. An optical detection element is fixed to a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface, the optical detection element receiving input light reflected from the region along a reception axis through an opening in the substrate between the first and second surfaces of the substrate, the transmission axis and the reception axis being substantially parallel.

Scanning lidar system and method with spatial filtering for reduction of ambient light

A detection system for a vehicle in an environment includes at least one reflective member having a rotational axis and a plurality of reflective sides. Each of the reflective sides slopes towards the rotational axis at a slope angle different than the slope angle of at least one of the others of the reflective sides. The system includes a plurality of LiDAR systems with at least one light transmitter and at least one light receiver, each LiDAR system interacting with a different one of the reflective sides to scan the environment.

Detection system with reflective member illuminated from multiple sides

A LiDAR detection system includes optical sources generating a plurality of output optical signals disposed along a first direction. A modulation circuit applies an output signal from a signal generator to the optical sources to modulate the output optical signals such that the output optical signals are envelope-modulated output optical signals having frequency-modulated modulation envelopes. A scanning device scans the output optical signals into a region over a second direction. A receiver comprising a two-dimensional array of optical detectors receives return optical signals and generates receive signals indicative of the return optical signals. The return optical signals impinge on a mask between the region and the array, the mask comprising a plurality of apertures aligned with a first dimension of the array. The receive signals are generated for a set of detectors in the array disposed along the first dimension of the array and aligned with the mask apertures.
