    Abstract: Computing systems, methods, and non-transitory storage media are provided for obtaining a signal emitted from a Lidar, applying a frequency modulation to the signal to generate an up-scanning direction and a down-scanning direction of the signal, wherein the up-scanning direction and the down-scanning direction are symmetric, suppressing a carrier frequency of the signal in response to the applying of the frequency modulation, applying a frequency modulation to the carrier frequency by shifting a local oscillator to change a symmetry between the up-scanning direction and the down-scanning direction, or adding a phase modulation, directing the signal to a target, and simultaneously determining a velocity and a direction of motion of the target with respect to the Lidar based on frequencies of a reflected signal from the target in the up-scanning direction and in the down-scanning direction.

    Abstract: A laser source generates an optical signal. A splitter splits the optical signal into a first signal and a second signal. A first modulator modulates the first signal. A second modulator modulates the second signal. A scanner scans the first signal following the modulation by the first modulator. A coupler combines the modulated second signal and the modulated first signal following the scanning of the first signal. A detector detect an attribute corresponding to the combined modulated second signal and the modulated first signal and captures a target based on the combined modulated second signal and the modulated first signal.
