Abstract
The present invention relates to a low-cost LIDAR system. The system may be integrated in a wind turbine for measurement of the approaching wind field. One embodiment relates to a LIDAR system comprising a beam generating section adapted for generating a substantially linearly polarized output beam, and a beam steering section comprising a first optical device for controllably altering the polarization of the output beam, said first optical device in optical connection with a first polarizing beam splitter, said beam steering section adapted for directing the outputbeam interchangeably between a first direction and a second direction.
