Abstract: An optical distance measuring system includes a first transmitter, a first solid state device, and a receiver. The first transmitter is configured to generate a first optical waveform. The first solid state device is configured to receive the first optical waveform and steer the first optical waveform toward a target object. The receiver is configured to receive the first optical waveform reflected off of the first target object and determine a distance to the first target object based on a time of flight from the transmitter to the first target object and back to the receiver.

Abstract: An optical distance measuring system includes a transmitter, a beam steering device, and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to generate a first plurality of optical waveforms. The beam steering device is configured to steer the first plurality of optical waveforms to a first plurality of scan points that form a non-uniform scan region within a field of view (FOV). The receiver is configured to receive the first plurality of optical waveforms reflected off of a first plurality of target objects within the non-uniform scan region and determine a distance to each target object of the first plurality of target objects based on a time of flight from the transmitter to each target object of the first plurality of target objects and back to the receiver.
