Abstract: An assembly includes an optical element having a light-shaping region. A light emitter is aimed into the optical element along an internal reflective path. The internal reflective path extends across the light-shaping region. A photodetector is positioned along the internal reflective path. Integrity of the optical element is determined based on detection of light from the light emitter along the internal reflective path by the photodetector.

Abstract: An assembly includes a base member having a fiducial marker, a vehicle component having a housing mounted to the base member, and an image sensor fixed to the housing and aimed at the fiducial marker. A method includes mounting the vehicle component to the base member of a vehicle, capturing a baseline image of the fiducial marker, capturing a subsequent image of the fiducial marker, comparing the subsequent image to the baseline image, and adjusting operation of the vehicle component in response to the identification of differences between the baseline image and the subsequent image.

Abstract: A Lidar system includes an illumination system that includes an optical element and a light emitter aimed at the optical element. An exit window is positioned to receive light directed from the optical element. The illumination system may include a light-receiving element including a beam dump and/or a photodetector. The light-receiving element is positioned to receive light directed from the optical element. The light-receiving element and the exit window are on the same side of the optical element. The illumination system may include a light shield between the photodetector and the exit window. The light shield is positioned to shield the photodetector from light passing through the exit window.
