Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an emitter for active depth sensing shared by multiple apertures. An example method for active depth sensing by a device including a first aperture, a second aperture, a first emitter, and an optical element includes identifying whether the optical element is to be in a first optical element (OE) mode or a second OE mode, and controlling the optical element based on the identified OE mode. The optical element directs light from the first emitter towards the first aperture in the first OE mode. Light is directed from the first emitter towards the second aperture in the second OE mode.
