    Abstract: A laser distance measuring device, a laser distance measuring method, and a movable platform are provided. The laser distance measuring device includes a transmitting module and a receiving module. The transmitting module includes a transmitting circuit and an optical transmitting system, the transmitting circuit is configured to transmit laser pulses, and the optical transmitting system is configured to disperse the laser pulse, to make the laser pulses cover a designated field-of-view area. The receiving module includes a receiving circuit and an optical receiving system, the receiving circuit includes an APD array operating in a linear mode and is configured to receive at least some of returning laser pulses upon the laser pulses being reflected back by a measured object, and convert the at least some of the returning laser pulses into an electrical signal.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques associated light detection and ranging (LIDAR) applications are described. In one representative aspect, techniques can be used to implement a sensor device. The sensor device includes an electromagnetic energy emitter module positioned to emit an electromagnetic energy beam directed to one or more objects, a beam steering module positioned to receive at least a portion of the electromagnetic energy beam that is reflected from the one or more objects, and an array of receiver units positioned to convert the portion of the electromagnetic energy beam into multiple electrical signals. The beam steering module is further positioned to direct the portion of the electromagnetic energy beam to the array of receiver units, with individual receiver units positioned to detect multiple optical signals from the portion of the electromagnetic energy beam and convert the multiple optical signals into electrical signals.
