Abstract:
A lidar system includes one or more light sources configured to generate a first and second beams of light, a scanner configured to synchronously scan a field of regard of the lidar system using the two beams, and a receiver configured to detect light of the two beams scattered by one or more remote targets. 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; a polygon mirror axle extending into the block, about which the block rotates; optical elements configured to direct the first and second beams of light respectively to two adjacent reflective surfaces of the rotatable polygon mirror; and a second mirror pivotable along an axis orthogonal to the polygon mirror axle.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first pulse of light is associated with a first beam and the second pulse of light is associated with a second beam, the method further comprising:\n scanning, using the polygon mirror and the second mirror, the first beam and the second beam to define a first field of regard and a second field of regard, respectively, wherein the first field of regard and the second field of regard in combination define the field of regard of the lidar system, and wherein the first field of regard and the second field of regard partially overlap to define an overlap region within the field of regard of the lidar system.
