    Abstract: A scanning LiDAR with no moving parts includes a laser transmitter with a first magneto-optic switch delivering pulses to a first linear fiber array to a field of view (FOV), a receiver with optics directing reflected light to a second, orthogonal linear fiber array coupled to a second magneto-optic switch to deliver the light to a detector, and a controller to process detector signals and generate FOV data. A scanning method for improving resolution includes scanning along a first direction, directing light reflected from an object along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction to form a received beam provided to a detector, processing detector signals to generate a pixel array, and varying an intensity profile within a pixel to move peak intensity in a continuous manner within the pixel by synchronously varying polarization of the transmitted and received light using associated Faraday rotators and phase masks.
