Abstract
Rotational, reciprocal scanning is used in a scanning LiDAR system. A laser is mounted to a platform. A first bar and a second bar couple the platform with a pivot mount. The pivot mount is coupled with a base. The platform is arranged to rotate about the pivot mount in an arc while the laser transmits light pulses into an environment.
