SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LIGHT BACKSCATTERING MITIGATION IN LIDAR SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided herein for light backscattering mitigation in LIDAR systems in some embodiments, an example method may include emitting, by an emitter, an outbound light signal. The example method may also include receiving, by a circulator disposed a first path of the outbound light signal and a second path of a return light signal, the outbound light signal from the emitter. The example method may also include outputting the outbound light signal. The example method may also include receiving, by the circulator, the return light signal from an environment, the return light signal comprising a first portion in a first polarization state and a second portion in a second polarization state. The example method may also include providing, by the circulator and on a third path, the first portion of the return light signal to a first element.
