1. A system for generating an optical beam array, comprising:
a laser light source capable of generating a primary beam of light; and
an array generating optical element capable of receiving the primary beam of light and splitting the primary beam of light into a beam array;
the beam array including:
at least two distinct pattern beams that divergently extend from the array generating optical element at a non-zero angle relative to one another; and
a void region formed between the at least two pattern beams, the void region being devoid of any portion of the primary beam.
