Patent attributes
A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system includes a rotatable polygon having a plurality of reflective sides including a first reflective side. The rotatable polygon configured to scan one or more first light signals in a first direction. The LiDAR system also includes a scanning optic configured to scan the one or more first light signals in a second direction different than the first direction. A first light source is configured to direct the one or more first light signals to one or more of the plurality of reflective sides of the rotatable polygon or the scanning optic. A first detector is configured to detect a first return light signal associated with a signal of the one or more first light signals. One or more optics are configured to focus the first return light signal on the first detector.
