Abstract
A LIDAR assembly defining a horizontal axis and a vertical axis is provided. The LIDAR assembly includes a LIDAR unit. The LIDAR unit includes a housing defining a cavity. The LIDAR unit further includes a first plurality of emitters disposed within the cavity and a second plurality of emitters disposed within the cavity. Each of the first plurality of emitters is configured to emit a first laser beam at a first wavelength. Conversely, each of the second plurality of emitters is configured to emit a second laser beam at a second wavelength that is different than the first wavelength. The LIDAR assembly includes an optic positioned outside of the housing. The optic is configured to optically act on the first laser beam and the second laser beam in a different manner to widen a field of view of the LIDAR unit along the vertical axis.
