Abstract:
A lidar system comprises a light source configured to emit light, a scanner configured to direct the emitted light to scan a field of regard of the lidar system in accordance with a scan pattern, a receiver configured to detect the light scattered by one or more remote targets, and a controller configured to control motion of at least the second mirror to modify the scan pattern. The scanner includes a rotatable polygon mirror having a block having a first wall, a second wall, and reflective surfaces extending between the first and second walls, the reflective surfaces being angularly offset from one another along a periphery of the block. The scanner also includes a polygon mirror axle extending into the block through at least one of the first and second walls, about which the block rotates, and a second mirror pivotable along an axis orthogonal to the polygon mirror axle.

Claim (Index 5):
The lidar system of  claim 4 , wherein the second mirror is configured so as to pivot over a range of allowable motion larger than a range corresponding to at least one of the horizontal or vertical angular dimension of the field of regard, so as to define a maximum range of allowable motion larger than a range within which the second mirror pivots during a scan, wherein the controller selects different portions of the maximum range of allowable motion as the range within which the second mirror pivots, in accordance with modifications of the scan pattern.
