Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor system that may be included in an autonomous vehicle includes a transmit pixel, a receive pixel, and a polarized beam splitter. The transmit pixel is configured to emit a transmit beam. The receive pixel is configured to receive a first polarization orientation of a returning beam and a second polarization orientation of the returning beam. The polarized beam splitter is optically coupled to receive the returning beam from the receive pixel. The polarized beam splitter is configured to direct the first polarization orientation of the returning beam into a first waveguide and direct the second polarization of the returning beam into a second waveguide.
