Abstract
A LiDAR device according to an embodiment includes a rotating mirror having reflective surfaces, first/second light emitters each emitting light toward the rotating mirror, and first/second light receivers each receiving light reflected by the rotating mirror and converting the received light into an electrical signal. The first light emitter emits light in an orientation where an upper section of a distance measurement range is scanned. The second light emitter emits light in an orientation where a lower section of the distance measurement range is scanned. The first light receiver is provided at a position where light emitted by the first light emitter and reflected at the distance measurement range is received via the rotating mirror. The second light receiver is provided at a position where light emitted by the second light emitter and reflected at the distance measurement range is received via the rotating mirror.
