Abstract
Various technologies described herein pertain to a lidar sensor system that includes a laser source and a polygon scanning mirror. The laser source can be configured to emit an outgoing optical signal. Moreover, the polygon scanning mirror can be configured to scan the outgoing optical signal from the laser source over a field of view in an environment of the lidar sensor system as the polygon scanning mirror rotates about an axis of rotation. The polygon scanning mirror includes planar optical reflective surfaces around a circumference of the polygon scanning mirror. Moreover, the planar optical reflective surfaces are oriented at angles offset relative to the axis of rotation.
