Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a LIDAR system with a mirror housing and a window. The LIDAR system may include a light deflector, a mirror housing encasing the light deflector comprising a window for transmitting light between the light deflector and an exterior of the mirror housing, and a sensor positioned outside the mirror housing for detecting light signals from an environment of the LIDAR system. The light signals may propagate from the environment through the window to the light deflector, and from the light deflector through the window to the sensor. The window may be configured such that light arriving from outside of a field of view of the LIDAR system is deflected by the window away from the sensor. The LIDAR system may also include a processor for processing the light signals detected by the sensor to determine a distance to an object in the environment of the LIDAR system.

Abstract: A LIDAR having dynamic alignment capabilities, the LIDAR may include an optical unit that comprises a sensing unit, a processor and a compensation unit. The sensing unit may include a sensing array that comprises sets of sensing elements that are configured to sense reflected light impinging on sensing regions of the sets of sensing elements of the sensing array, during one or more sensing periods; wherein the sensing unit is configured to generate detection signals by the sensing elements of the sensing array. The processor may be configured to determine, based on at least some of the detection signals, one or more optical unit misalignments related to the optical unit of the LIDAR. The compensation unit may be configured to compensate for the one or more optical unit misalignment.
