Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide receivers for light detection and ranging (LiDAR). In an example, a receiver includes a beam reflecting unit comprising a plurality of digital micromirror devices (DMDs). The beam reflecting unit is configured to receive an input laser beam returned from an object being scanned by the LiDAR and reflect the input laser beam by at least one DMD selectively switched to an 'ON' state at an operation angle to form an output laser beam towards a detector. The detector is configured to receive the output laser beam.
