Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a transmitter containing an omni-view peripheral scanning system, an omni-view peripheral scanning system, and an optical sensing method. The optical sensing system includes an optical source configured to sequentially emit optical signals. The optical sensing system further includes an omni-view peripheral scanning system configured to receive the optical signals and sequentially direct the optical signals towards an environment following a peripheral scanning pattern. The peripheral scanning system may include a scanning mirror and a top reflector. Each optical signal may pass through the top reflector towards the scanning mirror, where the scanning mirror is configured to reflect the optical signal back onto the top reflector following a spiral pattern and the top reflector is configured to direct the optical signal towards the environment. The optical sensing system further includes a receiver configured to receive at least a portion of the optical signals reflected from the environment.
