Abstract
A Lidar system may comprise: a laser configured to emit a laser beam; a reflector configured to receive the emitted laser beam and allow at least a portion of the emitted laser beam to transmit through the reflector, the at least the portion of the emitted laser beam being detection light; a two-dimensional scanning galvanometer; and a detector. The two-dimensional scanning galvanometer is configured to reflect the detection light to scan across an environment, receive at least a portion of the detection light reflected by a target in the environment, the at least the portion of the detection light reflected by the target being receiving light, and reflect the receiving light towards the reflector. The reflector is further configured to reflect the receiving light towards the detector. The detector is configured to measure the receiving light to detect the target.
