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 4):
The solid state optical system of  claim 3  wherein the array of individual light emitters is arranged in a two-dimensional array having first dimensions and configured to project discrete beams of light through the bulk transmitter optic into a field external to the optical system; the array of photosensors is arranged in a two-dimensional array having second dimensions and configured to detect photons reflected from surfaces in the field after the photons pass through the bulk receiver optic; and the combination of first dimensions, second dimensions, bulk transmitter optics and bulk receiver optics is designed such that a field of view of each emitter column going through bulk transmitter optic is significantly the same as a field of view of a corresponding pixel column going through the bulk receiver optic.
