Abstract
A Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system includes a light source configured to emit a plurality of light beams having respective divergence angles over respective fields of illumination, and a detector array comprising plurality of detector pixels having respective fields of detection and configured to output respective detection signals responsive to light incident thereon. The respective fields of detection of the detector pixels are greater than or equal to the respective divergence angles of the light beams. Related devices and methods are also discussed.
