Abstract: A LIDAR system has a laser emission unit configured to generate a plurality of laser beams. The LIDAR system also has an optical system configured to transmit the plurality of laser beams from the laser emission unit to a common scanning unit. The common scanning unit is configured to project the plurality of laser beams toward a field of view of the LIDAR system to simultaneously scan the field of view along a plurality of scan lines traversing the field of view.

Abstract: A LIDAR having dynamic alignment capabilities, the LIDAR may include an optical unit that comprises a sensing unit, a processor and a compensation unit. The sensing unit may include a sensing array that comprises sets of sensing elements that are configured to sense reflected light impinging on sensing regions of the sets of sensing elements of the sensing array, during one or more sensing periods; wherein the sensing unit is configured to generate detection signals by the sensing elements of the sensing array. The processor may be configured to determine, based on at least some of the detection signals, one or more optical unit misalignments related to the optical unit of the LIDAR. The compensation unit may be configured to compensate for the one or more optical unit misalignment.

Abstract: A LIDAR system for detecting an obstruction on a window that is associated with the LIDAR system, the LIDAR system includes at least one processor configured to detect, based on detection signals generated by an obstruction sensor of the LIDAR system, an obstruction that at least partially obstructs a passage of light through the window. The obstruction sensor differs from an object related sensor of the LIDAR system that is configured to detect of one or more objects within a field of view (FOV) of the LIDAR system.
