Segmented flash lidar using stationary reflectors

A Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system, comprising:

• a lidar emitter comprising one or more emitter elements configured to emit optical signals defining a primary field of illumination;
• and
• one or more reflective optical elements that are arranged to reflect one or more subsets of the optical signals into respective fields of illumination that are different than the primary field of illumination, wherein at least one of the respective fields of illumination does not overlap with the primary field of illumination.

A Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system, comprising:

• a lidar detector comprising one or more detector pixels configured to detect light corresponding to optical signals from a lidar emitter over a primary field of detection;
• and
• one or more reflective optical elements that are arranged to reflect light from respective fields of view different than the primary field of detection toward the lidar detector, wherein at least one of the respective fields of view does not overlap with the primary field of detection.
