A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes a transmitter, a first receiver, a second receiver, and one or more processors. The transmitter is configured to output a transmit beam. The first receiver is positioned on a first side of the transmitter and is configured to receive a first component of a return beam from reflection of the transmit beam by an object. The second receiver is positioned on a second side of the transmitter and is configured to receive a second component of the return beam. The one or more processors are configured to determine at least one of a range to the object or a velocity of the object and control operation of the autonomous vehicle based on the at least one of the range or the velocity.
