Abstract
An optical system includes at least one optical apparatus. The optical apparatus includes a first light source, a second light source, and a dynamic switch. The first light source is configured for providing a first light beam. The second light source is configured for providing a second light beam. The dynamic switch includes a plurality of mirrors arranged in an array manner. Each of the mirrors has a first tilt angle and a second tilt angle. The first light beam and the second light beam impinge on the dynamic switch from different directions. The dynamic switch reflects the first light beam to a desired position when the mirrors are at the first tilt angles, and reflects the second light beam to the desired position when the mirrors are at the second tilt angles.
