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 8):
The solid state optical system of  claim 5  wherein:\n the light transmission module is a first light transmission module, the transmitter layer is a first transmitter layer, and the array of individual light emitters is a first array of individual light emitters; \n the system further comprising a second light transmission module including a second transmitter layer that includes a second array of individual light emitters; and \n the first and second arrays of individual light emitters are aligned to project discrete beams of light into a field external to the optical system according to a first illumination pattern and a second illumination pattern, respectively, where the first and second illumination patterns are aligned such that one discrete beam from the first illumination pattern and one discrete beam from the second illumination pattern falls within the field-of-view of each receiver channel in the plurality of receiver channels.
