Abstract
An optical emitter device includes an emitter array comprising a plurality of end-fire tapers, each end-fire taper configured to selectively emit a respective beam of light. A lens system is configured to shape and direct each beam of light based on a position of the respective end-fire taper relative to an optical axis of the lens system. A rotating reflector, including an axis of rotation perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens system, is configured to redirect and scan the beams of light through a scanning range.
