Abstract
An optical system and a method for non-mechanically (i.e., without physical movement) scanning a laser using a lens, a steering optical element, and transmission and receive paths having a non-zero spatial offset. Also, an optical system and a method for non-linearly and non-mechanically scanning a laser using a lens and a steering optical element, such that detection points resulting from the scanned laser are non-linearly mapped into space.
