Abstract
A light scanning system includes a transmitter configured to transmit a transmit light beam along a transmission path; a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror arranged on the transmission path and configured to oscillate about a first scanning axis to steer the transmit light beam in a first dimension; a macro scanner arranged on the transmission path and on a receiver path, the macro scanner configured to rotate about a second scanning axis to steer the transmit light beam in a second dimension, where the macro scanner is further configured to receive a receive light beam that is produced from the transmit light beam via backscattering, and where the macro scanner is configured to direct the receive light beam further along the receiver path; and a photodetector configured to receive the receive light beam from the macro scanner and generate a measurement signal representative of the receive light beam.
