Abstract
A scanning lidar system includes a fixed frame, a first platform flexibly attached to the fixed frame, a lens assembly including a first lens and a second lens mounted on the first platform, a second platform flexible attached to the fixed frame, an electro-optic assembly including a first laser source and a first photodetector mounted on the second platform, a drive mechanism mechanically coupled to the first platform and the second platform and configured to translate the first platform and the second platform with respect to the fixed frame, and a controller coupled to the drive mechanism and configured to translate the first platform to a plurality of first positions through the drive mechanism and translate the second platform to a plurality of second positions through the drive mechanism such that a motion of the second platform is substantially opposite to a motion of the first platform.
