Abstract
Lidar systems and methods are presented herein. In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a laser operable to propagate ultrashort laser pulses to a target during a plurality of scanning periods. The lidar system also includes a streak tube imaging system operable to collect returns of the ultrashort laser pulses from the target during each scanning period, and to generate a two-dimensional image of the returns during each scanning period. The lidar system also includes a processor operable to generate a representation of the target based on the 2D images from the streak tube imaging system.
