Abstract
Disclosed systems include a mirror having multiple optical sections positioned about an axis of the mirror. Each optical section includes an opening leading to a respective section of a light sensor and configured to collect a portion of an incident beam of light. The focal distance of the mirror is optimized and set based on a size of the opening, a size of the illuminated area of the light sensor, a distance from the mirror to the light sensor, and/or the like.
