Abstract

A LIDAR system includes an emitter head configured to receive LIDAR output signals from one or more LIDAR chips and to output head output signals that each includes light from one of the LIDAR output signals. The emitter head is movable relative to the one or more LIDAR chips. The one or more LIDAR chips are configured to receive LIDAR input signals that each includes light from one of the head output signals. The LIDAR input signals include LIDAR data indicating the distance and/or radial velocity between a LIDAR chip and an object.
