Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes a first optical source to provide a first optical beam and a second optical source to provide a second optical beam. A light detection sensor detects a position of the first optical beam and the second optical beam relative to each other and to a reference pattern on a light detection sensor. Alignment optics may be located between the light detection sensor and the first optical source and the second optical source, and may include one or more optical components adjustable to shift each optical beam on the light detection sensor. A control system, including one or more processors, is coupled to the alignment optics and the light detection sensor, and causes the alignment optics to shift the first optical beam and the second optical beam on the light detection sensor according to the reference pattern.
