Claim 17:
18. A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system, comprising:
one or more light sources configured to provide a plurality of light beams;
a beam scanner configured to scan a field-of-view of the LiDAR system using the plurality of light beams, the beam scanner comprising a planar mirror and a rotatable polygon mirror comprising a plurality of reflective surfaces,
wherein the rotatable polygon mirror, when rotating, is configured to:
receive the light beams at one or more reflective surfaces of the plurality of reflective surfaces of the rotatable polygon mirror, and
direct, by the one or more reflective surface of the plurality of facets, the light beams to the planar mirror,

wherein the planar mirror is pivotable to redirect the light beams to a field-of-view; and
wherein the beam scanner is optically coupled to the one or more light sources and is positioned to:
scan the light beams both vertically and horizontally to illuminate an object within the field-of-view of the LiDAR system,
receive return light formed based on the illumination of the object within the field-of-view, and
direct the return light to a detector.
