  • Patent number: 12135271
    Abstract: The invention is based on a sensor device (10) with at least one sensor unit (12) comprising at least one laser unit (14) for a generation of at least one laser beam (16) and comprising at least one detection unit (18) for a detection of, in particular reflected, laser beams (20), with an evaluation unit (22) which is configured to process detected laser beams (20) into at least one sensor signal (39), and with a control unit (26) which is configured, in a continuous operation state, to actuate the sensor unit (12) and the evaluation unit (22) for an operation of the sensor unit (12) and the evaluation unit (22) in alternating switch-on intervals (31, 43) and switch-off intervals (33, 45). It is proposed that the evaluation unit (22) is configured to generate the at least one sensor signal (39) from at least two different switch-on intervals (31) of the sensor unit (12).
