Abstract

A LIDAR system is provided. In one example, the LIDAR system can include an emitter configured to emit a light signal through one or more transmit lenses positioned along a transmit path to provide transmit signals to a surrounding environment. The LIDAR system can include a receiver spaced apart from the emitter. The receiver configured to detect return signals corresponding to reflected transmit signals from the surrounding environment. The return signals can be received via one or more receive lenses positioned along a receive path. The LIDAR system can include an actuator coupled to the one or more transmit lenses. The actuator can be operable to impart a motion to the one or more transmit lenses to provide for steering of the transmit signals in the surrounding environment.
