Use of multiple steering mechanisms in scans

A lidar system has a beam diverter and a signal director, each configured to divert a system output signal output from the lidar system within a field of view. The path of the system output signal in the field of view has contributions from the beam diverter and the signal director. The contribution of the beam diverter to the path is a back-and-forth movement of the system output signal across the field of view on a two-dimensional path. The contribution of the signal director to the path is movement of the system output signal transverse to the two-dimensional path contribution provided by the beam diverter. 一种激光雷达系统，具有光束转向器和信号导向器，其均配置成在视场内转向从激光雷达系统输出的系统输出信号。视场中的系统输出信号的路径具有来自光束转向器和信号导向器的贡献。光束转向器对路径的贡献是系统输出信号在二维路径上横跨视场的来回移动。信号导向器对路径的贡献是系统输出信号横向于由光束转向器提供的二维路径贡献的移动。
