Abstract
An apparatus aspect of the disclosure includes a lidar transmitter emitting laser beams, and scan mirrors (or assemblies) angularly adjustable to deflect the beams in orthogonal directions. In one aspect, afocal optics magnify deflection, a transmitter aperture transmits the beam, and a lidar receiver doesn't share the transmitter aperture. In another aspect, auxiliary optics calibrate the deflection. A method aspect of the disclosure includes noticing and responding to a remote source, using a local laser, adjustable scan mirror or assembly, afocal deflection magnifier, transmission aperture and separate receiver. Method steps described include operating the receiver to notice and determine the location of the remote source, and controlling the transmitter to direct laser light back toward that location.
