  • LIDAR system
    Patent number: 11592561
    Abstract: A LIDAR system is described for detecting surroundings, including a laser light source for emitting a laser light, a receiving device for receiving a laser light reflected by the surroundings, and a control device for activating the laser light source, the control device being configured to activate the laser light source for emitting a continuous light beam and to continually modulate the emitted light beam, so that the light beam includes a multitude of successive codes.
    Type: Grant

  • LIDAR SENSOR FOR DETECTING AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20190353755
    Abstract: A lidar sensor for detecting an object in the surrounding area, and a method for activating the lidar sensor, the lidar sensor including: a light source for emitting electromagnetic radiation; a deflection mirror for deflecting the emitted electromagnetic radiation, as deflected emitted electromagnetic radiation, through at least one angle into the surrounding area; and an optical receiver for receiving electromagnetic radiation that has been reflected from the object. The optical receiver has an aperture region disposed on a main beam axis of the light source.

  • OPTICAL SET-UP FOR A LIDAR SYSTEM, LIDAR SYSTEM AND OPERATING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20190178990
    Abstract: An optical set-up for a LiDAR system for the optical detection of a field of view, in particular for an operating device, a vehicle or the like, in which an optical receiver system and an optical transmitter system are designed at least on the field of view side having essentially coaxial optical axes and have a common optical deflection system, and on the detector side an optical detector system is designed and has an arrangement for directing incident light—in particular from the field of view—directly via the optical deflection system onto a detector device.
