Abstract
A Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor system for a vehicle includes: a housing defining a cavity, a first mount positioned within the cavity, a second mount positioned within the cavity, and a micro optics assembly. The micro optics assembly includes a first portion provided on the first mount and a second portion provided on the second mount. The first portion includes: a light source to emit a beam, a first optical component to direct the beam, an optical isolator to allow the beam directed by the first optical component to pass through the optical isolator and to prevent light from being reflected back into the light source, and a second optical component to direct the beam after having passed through the optical isolator. The second portion includes an optical chip assembly to receive the beam after having been directed by the second optical component.
