Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system comprises: a light source configured to generate a pulse signal from the LiDAR system; one or more mirrors configured to steer a returned light pulse associated with the transmitted pulse signal along an optical receive path; a field lens positioned along the optical receive path, wherein the field lens is configured to redirect the returned light pulse; a fiber having a receiving end configured to receive the returned light pulse from the field lens along the optical receive path; and a light detector configured to receive the returned light pulse from an end of the fiber opposite the receiving end.
