Abstract:
A lidar system operates in a vehicle and includes a light source configured to emit light, a scanner configured to direct the emitted light so as to scan a field of regard of the lidar system in accordance with a scan pattern, and a receiver configured to detect the light scattered by one or more remote targets. The scanner includes a rotatable polygon mirror configured to scan the FOR along a horizontal dimension, a polygon mirror axis about which the polygon mirror rotates, and a y-scan mirror pivotable along an axis orthogonal to the polygon mirror axis and configured to scan the FOR along a vertical dimension. The polygon mirror has multiple reflective surfaces being angularly offset from one another. The polygon mirror axis is disposed on a plane substantially parallel to a plane along which the vehicle moves.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein emitting the light includes generating a first beam of light and a second beam of light directed at two different reflective surfaces of the rotatable polygon mirror, the method further comprising:\n scanning the first beam of light and the second beam of light to define a first field of regard and a second field of regard, respectively, the first and second fields of regard in combination defining the field of regard of the lidar system, wherein the first field of regard and a second field of regard include an overlap region aligned with a forward orientation of the vehicle.
