Abstract
LiDAR systems and methods for detecting objects in a region of interest (ROI) comprising radiation source for emitting an output beam; optical fiber communicatively coupled to radiation source for receiving and transmitting output beam, and emitting output beam from output end with first spread; actuator coupled to the optical fiber for imparting movement to output end, the movement comprising positions of the output end defining total first spread of output beam; optical lens positioned by focal distance from output end and configured to transmit output beam towards the ROI and to cause output beam to spread by second spread which is larger than first spread, and a total second spread when output end is moving being larger than total first spread; and a processor for controlling the actuator and the movement to modulate angle of spread of the output beam in the ROI.
