    Abstract: In some implementations, an optical system includes an emitter array including a plurality of emitters. The plurality of emitters are arranged in a plurality of channels and the emitter array is configured to illuminate on a per-channel basis. Respective positions of emitters, of the plurality of emitters, of a channel, of the plurality of channels, vary across a width of the channel. The optical system includes a lens to receive light from the emitter array and a diffuser to receive light from the lens. The diffuser is configured to diffuse light along a length of the plurality of channels of the emitter array. The optical system includes a corrective optical element to receive light from the diffuser.

    Abstract: An optical device may include a lens system. The optical device may include a first scanning component to receive an optical beam and to scan the lens system with the optical beam. The optical device may include a second scanning component to receive the optical beam from the lens system and to scan a field of view with the optical beam, where the lens system is positioned between the first scanning component and the second scanning component. The lens system may include a beam expander.

    Abstract: A light detection and ranging (lidar) receiver may include a first frequency filter to pass a first range of frequencies of an analog signal. The lidar receiver may include a second frequency filter to pass a second range of frequencies of the analog signal that is different from the first range of frequencies of the analog signal. The lidar receiver may include a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to derive a first digital signal based on the first range of frequencies of the analog signal using a first sampling rate. The lidar receiver may include a second ADC to derive a second digital signal based on the second range of frequencies of the analog signal using a second sampling rate that is different from the first sampling rate.

    Abstract: An optical device may include a laser component to emit a source beam and an optical component to split the source beam to generate a first beam and a second beam. The optical device may include a multiplexing component to multiplex the first beam and the second beam to form a first multiplexed beam, an optical system to receive the first multiplexed beam and demultiplex the first beam and the second beam, and a scanning component to scan a field of view with the first beam and the second beam and receive the first beam and the second beam reflected from the field of view. The optical system may multiplex the first beam and the second beam reflected from the field of view to form a second multiplexed beam, and a demultiplexing component may demultiplex the first beam and the second beam reflected from the field of view.
