Abstract:
A lidar system includes a light source configured to emit light, a scanner configured to scan a field of regard of the lidar system using (i) a first output beam that includes at least a portion of the emitted light and has a first amount of power and (ii) a second output beam that includes at least a portion of the emitted light and has a second amount of power different from the first amount of power, with an angular separation between the first output beam and the second output beam along a vertical dimension of the field of regard, and a receiver configured to detect light associated with the first output beam and light associated with the second output beam scattered by one or more remote targets.

Claim (Index 10):
The lidar system of  claim 1 , wherein the scanner includes a mirror that distributes the emitted light along the vertical dimension of the field of regard to generate different respective scan lines for different orientations of the mirror relative to the field of regard, the lidar system further comprising a controller configured to (i) detect a current orientation of the mirror relative to the field of regard and (ii) cause the lidar system to generate either the first output beam or the second output beam in accordance with the current orientation of the mirror.
