Abstract
The described technology relates to a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device. The LIDAR device can include a transmitter configured to emit an optical signal, a first lens section configured to convert the optical signal into collimated light, a reflector configured to adjust a direction of the converted optical signal, a second lens section configured to allow the adjusted optical signal to have the same focal plane even though a reflection angle of the reflector is varied and a third lens section configured to convert the optical signal passed through the second lens section into collimated light. The LIDAR device can also include a fourth lens section configured to allow the optical signal, and a receiver configured to receive the optical signal passed through the fourth lens section. The third lens section and the fourth lens section are positioned on the same line in a first direction.
