    Abstract: A light sensor includes a primary lens, and a light device spaced from the primary lens. A control structure is disposed between the primary lens and the light device. An actuator is coupled to the control device to move the control device relative to the primary lens and the light device to control the passage of light between the primary lens and the light device. The light sensor may include a light emitting sensor having an array of individual light emitters, or a light detecting sensor having a light detector. The control structure may include an array of secondary bi-telecentric lenses for use with the light emitting sensor, or a plate having an aperture extending therethrough for use with the light detecting sensor.

    Abstract: A method of performing ranging and detection with an array lidar system and the array lidar system include a first illuminator to transmit a first pseudorandom binary sequence of pulses, the first pseudorandom sequence of pulses resulting in first reflections, and a second illuminator to transmit a second pseudorandom sequence of pulses, the second pseudorandom sequence of pulses being transmitted at least partly concurrently with transmission of the first pseudorandom sequence of pulses, the second pseudorandom sequence of pulses resulting in second reflections. A receiver receives the first reflections and the second reflections and associates the first reflections with the first illuminator based on a result of correlating the first reflections with the first pseudorandom sequence of pulses and a result of correlating the first reflections with the second pseudorandom sequence of pulses, the receiver includes an optical detector array and a processor.
