Abstract:
Embodiments describe a solid state electronic scanning LIDAR system that includes a scanning focal plane transmitting element and a scanning focal plane receiving element whose operations are synchronized so that the firing sequence of an emitter array in the transmitting element corresponds to a capturing sequence of a photosensor array in the receiving element. During operation, the emitter array can sequentially fire one or more light emitters into a scene and the reflected light can be received by a corresponding set of one or more photosensors through an aperture layer positioned in front of the photosensors. Each light emitter can correspond with an aperture in the aperture layer, and each aperture can correspond to a photosensor in the receiving element such that each light emitter corresponds with a specific photosensor in the receiving element.

Claim (Index 10):
The optical system set forth in  claim 1  further comprising a third illumination source comprising a third two-dimensional array of light emitters aligned to project discrete beams of light into a field external to the optical system according to a third illumination pattern having a same size and geometry as the first illumination pattern; and\n wherein the array of photosensors is further configured to detect photons emitted from the third illumination source and the third array of light emitters operates in synchronization with the first and second arrays of light emitters and the array of photosensors such that when one or more light emitters are activated, a corresponding one or more of the photosensors are read.
