Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for scanning an environment using a LIDAR system comprising one or more light sources configured to emit light, one or more rotatable light deflectors having a plurality of reflective facets to direct light emitted by the light source(s) to scan a Field of View (FOV) of the LIDAR system, and one or more optical switches having at least two states. The optical switch(es) interposed between the light source(s) and the rotatable light deflector(s) is configured to switch between the at least two states such that, in a first state, the one or more optical switches direct the emitted light towards the FOV via a first reflective facet of the plurality of reflective facets, and in a second state, the one or more optical switches direct the emitted light towards the FOV via a second reflective facet of the plurality of reflective facets.
