Abstract
A LIDAR system includes an imaging sensor optically aligned with imaging optics along a first optical path. A laser source is optically aligned with laser optics along a second optical path. A single scanning mechanism is aligned with both the first optical path and the second optical path for directing outgoing laser illumination from the laser source in a scanning direction and for directing incoming laser return illumination from the scanning direction.
