Abstract
A LIDAR system outputs a system output signal that includes light from an outbound LIDAR signal. The LIDAR system includes a chromatic disperser that receives the outbound LIDAR signal and is configured to cause chromatic dispersion of the outbound LIDAR signal. The LIDAR system includes a light source that generates wavelength channel signals that each carries one of multiple different wavelength channels. The outbound LIDAR carries one of the wavelength channels from one of the wavelength channel signals. The light source is operated so as to change the wavelength channel carried by the outbound LIDAR signal. The direction that the outbound LIDAR signal travels away from the chromatic disperser changes in response to the change in the wavelength channel carried by the outbound LIDAR signal. Additionally, the direction that the system output signal travels away from the LIDAR system changes in response to the change in the direction that the outbound LIDAR signal travels away from the chromatic disperser.
