Abstract

A lidar apparatus includes a sensor configured to convert light into an electrical signal, a light receiving lens configured to receive light and to guide the received light toward the sensor, a lens barrel that supports the light receiving lens, a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror arranged at a first position in which the MEMS mirror defines a first plane that forms a first acute angle with respect to at least one surface of the lens barrel, and a light output device that is configured to output a laser light toward the MEMS mirror and that is arranged at a second position in which the light output device defines a second plane that forms a second acute angle with respect to the at least one surface of the lens barrel.
