US Patent 10976415 Techniques for image conjugate pitch reduction

A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes a first optical source to generate a first optical beam and a second optical source to generate a second optical beam. The first optical beam and the second optical beam are separated by a first spacing. The system further includes an optical system to receive the first optical beam and the second optical beam and reduce the first spacing between the first optical beam and the second optical beam to a second spacing and an output lens to transmit the first and second optical beams to scanner optics.
