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: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that use LIDAR technology. In one implementation, a LIDAR system includes at least one processor configured to: control activation of at least one light source for illuminating a field of view; receive from at least one sensor a reflection signal associated with an object in the field of view, a time lapse between light leaving the at least one light source and reflection impinging on the least one sensor constituting a time of flight; and alter an amplification parameter associated with the at least one sensor during the time of flight.

Abstract: A distance measurement (DM) optical sensor that includes (i) a 2D sensing array that includes sensing elements that include DM sensing elements and feedback sensing elements that are statically allocated to act as feedback sensing elements, (ii) output paths that include DM output paths and feedback output paths; and (iii) one or more processing circuits that are configured to: (a) trigger an outputting of DM output signals, trigger an outputting of feedback output signals, and (b) process the feedback output signals to determine a spatial relationship between an actual location of light sensed by at least some of the sensing elements and an expected location of the light.
