    Abstract: An optical system includes a housing that defines a first aperture and a second aperture different from the first aperture. At least one of the first aperture or the second aperture is defined by a peripheral surface having a plurality of inclined surfaces with respect to a center axis of the first aperture or the second aperture. In some cases, the peripheral surface may define a convex profile, may have a coating or a surface treatment, or may define other edge features that help mitigate optical crosstalk. The optical system may also include an array of light emitters disposed within the housing and configured to emit light through the first aperture and a light detector disposed within the housing and configured to detect a portion of the emitted light that is returned from a target and received through the second aperture.
