Abstract: A device for deflecting laser radiation (8) with a waveguide (1) having an entrance face (6) and an exit face (7) spaced apart from each other in the Z-direction by a spacing (L), wherein the waveguide (1) has a greater extent in the X-direction than in the Y-direction, and at least two electrodes (4, 5) arranged on the waveguide (1), wherein a deflection voltage (+V, ?V) is applied to the at least two electrodes (4, 5), so that the laser radiation is electro-optically deflected in the waveguide (1) with respect to the X-direction, wherein the spacing (L) between entrance face (6) and exit face (7) has a dimension so that the profile of the laser radiation after exiting the exit face (7) corresponds to the profile of the laser radiation prior to entering the entrance face (6). The spacing (L) may correspond to the Talbot length of the laser radiation.
