Kinematic mount for active mems alignment with multi-degree-of-freedom

A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system comprising an optical transmitter subsystem, the optical transmitter subsystem comprising:

• a first assembly including:
• a light source configured to emit a light beam;
• a collimation lens configured to collimate the light beam;
• and
• an extending arm supporting and positioning the light source and the collimation lens in a coaxial configuration;
• a second assembly including:
• a scanner board with an optical scanner installed thereon, the optical scanner configured to steer light incident on the optical scanner into a plurality of directions;
• a mechanical mount;
• a first set of adjustable connectors coupling the scanner board to the mechanical mount;
• and
• a first set of elastic members between and in contact with the mechanical mount and the scanner board;
• a second set of adjustable connectors coupling the mechanical mount of the second assembly to the extending arm of the first assembly such that the optical scanner is in a position to receive the collimated light beam;
• and
• a second set of elastic members between and in contact with the mechanical mount and the extending arm.
