Claim 11:
12. A LIDAR system as claimed in claim 11 wherein one or more of:
the sub footprint comprises a discrete area of light having a one dimensional or two dimensional shape;
the sequence of computer-generated holograms output by the holographic controller moves the sub footprint to a plurality of different positions within the IFOV to scan the complete area thereof wherein optionally the light footprint formed by each computer-generated hologram in the sequence of computer-generated holograms that repositions the sub footprint to a plurality of different positions within the IFOV comprises one or more additional sub footprints to selectively illuminate positions within at least one other IFOV of the array of IFOVs within the scene; and
the IFOV is selected based on feedback received in response to prior illumination of the IFOV by a light footprint.
