Abstract
A light deflection system for a LIDAR system on an aerial vehicle and method of use are herein disclosed. The light deflection system includes a light deflection element having a first end and a second end. The light deflection element is rotatable and balanced about an axis extending from the first end to the second end. The light deflection element has a first side with a first reflective surface at a first angle in relation to the axis and deflects light in a nadir direction relative to the aerial vehicle. The light deflection element also has a second side having a second reflective surface at a second angle in relation to the axis. The first angle is different from the second angle and configured to deflective light at an oblique angle relative to the aerial vehicle.
