An optical system and method for controlling the system, and a self-driving vehicle connected thereto. The optical system includes a housing; a first light source configured to emit light in a first wavelength band; a second light source configured to emit light in a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band; a dichroic element configured for combining light from the first light source and the second light source into an output light beam to be scanned over a field of view; a scanning unit configured to direct output beam outwardly from the optical system, the scanning unit being disposed in the housing; a controller communicatively coupled with the scanning unit; and at least one sensor communicatively coupled with the controller and configured to sense light reflected off surrounding objects into the optical system.
