Abstract: Described examples include an apparatus having a phase light modulator. The apparatus also has a first light source configured to direct a first light beam to the phase light modulator, the phase light modulator configured to provide a first modulated light beam directed to a first field of view. The apparatus also has a second light source configured to direct a second light beam to the phase light modulator, the phase light modulator configured to provide a second modulated light beam directed to a second field of view. The apparatus also has a first light detector configured to detect the first modulated light beam as reflected from the first field of view; and a second light detector configured to detect the second modulated light beam as reflected from the second field of view.
