Abstract

A system including an optical scanner to transmit an optical beam towards an object. The system includes a first optical element to receive a returned reflection having a lag angle; and steer the returned reflection to generate a first steered beam. The system includes a beam steering unit to receive the first steered beam, wherein the first steered beam is propagating at a first beam angle; and steer, the first steered beam based on an array voltage to generate a second steered beam at a first location on a photodetector. The system includes a processor to adjust the array voltage to cause the beam steering unit to steer the second steered beam from the first location on the photodetector to a second location on the photodetector to compensate for the lag angle.
