    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus suitable for light scanning. The apparatus comprises a light source and a photonic crystal. The light source is configured to direct a light beam along an optical axis toward the photonic crystal. The photonic crystal is configured to direct the light beam along a direction at an angle relative to the optical axis. The angle is a function of wavelength of the light beam. The apparatus may also comprise a partial toroid lens configured to diverge the light beam received from the photonic crystal. The light source of the apparatus may be configured to change the wavelength continuously across a range of wavelengths.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus suitable for light scanning. The apparatus may comprise a light source, an optical device and a detector. The light source may be configured to generate a scanning light beam that diverges along a first dimension to illuminate a line along the first dimension in a target scene, and may be configured to scan the scanning light beam in a second dimension perpendicular to the first dimension. The optical device may be configured to converge return light waves reflected off of the target scene to generate converged return light waves. The detector may comprise a light receiving component. The light receiving component may be configured to receive the converged return light waves. The detector may be configure to detect the converged return light waves incident on the light receiving component.
