Kinematic mount for active galvo mirror alignment with multi-degree-of-freedom

A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system comprising:

• a chassis;
• and
• a plurality of optical transceivers mounted on the chassis, each optical transceiver of the plurality of optical transceivers configured to transmit light to and receive light from a respective field of view,
• wherein each optical transceiver of the plurality of optical transceivers comprises:
• a galvo mirror assembly comprising:
• a mirror holder including a handle and a galvo mirror for receiving and reflecting a light beam;
• a galvo mirror mount detachably mounted on the chassis and including a recess for receiving the handle of the mirror holder;
• two compression springs coupled to the handle of the mirror holder and the galvo mirror mount;
• two set screws in contact with the handle of the mirror holder and at least partially in the galvo mirror mount, the two set screws individually adjustable to change a compression force applied to at least one of the two compression springs and a tilt angle of the mirror holder and the galvo mirror with respect to a vertical direction;
• and
• a galvo motor in the galvo mirror mount and configured to rotate the mirror holder.
