Abstract
A GmAPD imager with an increased field of view includes at least one array of movable mirrors. Each movable mirror in the array switches between at least two positions (states). The movable mirrors receive light coming from a first direction when the mirror is in the first state and a second direction when the mirror is in the second state, thus increasing the field of view of the imager.
