Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that use LIDAR technology. In one implementation, a LIDAR system includes at least one processor configured to: control activation of at least one light source for illuminating a field of view; receive from at least one sensor a reflection signal associated with an object in the field of view, a time lapse between light leaving the at least one light source and reflection impinging on the least one sensor constituting a time of flight; and alter an amplification parameter associated with the at least one sensor during the time of flight.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an active seeker system for detection and/or tracking of moving targets. The system includes: an illumination module generating an illumination beam to be output from the system; an optical assembly for shaping the solid angle of the field of view (FOV) of the output beam; an optical path scanning module adapted for angularly deflecting the output optical path of the output beam about a scan axis to perform one or more scanning cycles; and an imaging module adapted to image light in the spectral regime of the beam, arriving from a certain field of view about the output optical path of the beam. In some cases, the solid angle of the output light beam is shaped such that it has an elongated FOV cross-section extending along a certain lateral of the beam; and the output optical path is angularly deflected in a direction travers to the longer axis of the elongated FOV of beam so as to swipe the elongated FOV of the beam to cover a desired field of regard (FOR) with one dimensional scanning.

Abstract: Systems and methods may detect an object within a minimum predetermined distance of a LIDAR system. The LIDAR system may comprise a processor configured to control a light source and a light deflector to illuminate objects located in a space illuminated by the light source; determine a distance to a first object based located within a field of view of a LIDAR sensor; receive, from a supplementary sensor, reflection signals indicative of light reflected from a second object outside the field of view; determine, based on the second reflection signals that the second object is located within a predetermined distance; and regulate, based on the determination, at least one of the light source and the light deflector to prevent an accumulated energy density of light emitted by the light source from exceeding a maximum permissible exposure level.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a LIDAR system with a mirror housing and a window. The LIDAR system may include a light deflector, a mirror housing encasing the light deflector comprising a window for transmitting light between the light deflector and an exterior of the mirror housing, and a sensor positioned outside the mirror housing for detecting light signals from an environment of the LIDAR system. The light signals may propagate from the environment through the window to the light deflector, and from the light deflector through the window to the sensor. The window may be configured such that light arriving from outside of a field of view of the LIDAR system is deflected by the window away from the sensor. The LIDAR system may also include a processor for processing the light signals detected by the sensor to determine a distance to an object in the environment of the LIDAR system.
