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 6):
The lidar system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the light source is configured to generate a first beam of light and a second beam of light directed at two different reflective surfaces of the rotatable polygon mirror, the scanner scans 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, and the first field of regard and a second field of regard include an overlap region aligned with a forward orientation of the vehicle.
