  The growth of 3D imaging across a range of sectors has driven a demand for
high performance beam steering techniques. Fields as diverse as autonomous
vehicles and medical imaging can benefit from a high speed, adaptable method of
beam steering. We present a monolithic, sub-microsecond electro-optic switch as
a solution satisfying the need for reliability, speed, dynamic addressability
and compactness. Here we demonstrate a laboratory-scale, solid-state lidar
pointing system, using the electro-optic switch to launch modulated coherent
light into free space, and then to collect the reflected signal. We use
coherent detection of the reflected light to simultaneously extract the range
and axial velocity of targets at each of several electronically addressable
output ports.
