A detector array for detecting backscattered light of a LIDAR system includes an optical waveguide and a detector unit. The optical waveguide includes a light incoupling surface, which is formed by at least a portion of a circumferential surface of the optical waveguide for coupling-in the backscattered light of the LIDAR system, and a light outcoupling surface, which is formed by a cross-sectional surface of the optical waveguide on an axial end of the optical waveguide, and furthermore a luminescent material, which is introduced into the interior of the optical waveguide and configured to emit light re-emitted into a wavelength range of a LIDAR system due to luminescence. The detector unit is situated on the light outcoupling surface of the optical waveguide for the detection of at least a portion of the re-emitted light.
