A device for scanning Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave LiDAR range measurement comprises a light source that produces light having a varying frequency, a splitter that splits the light into reference light and output light, and a distribution matrix () that distributes the output light among a plurality of free space couplers that outcouple the output light into free space. A plurality of optical waveguides guide input light that was reflected at an object. A detector detects a superposition of the input light with the reference light, and a calculation unit determines the range to the object from the superposition detected by the detector. The device further comprises a common optical waveguide that is optically connected to the plurality of optical waveguides and the detector so that input light that is guided in any of the optical waveguides propagates through the common optical waveguide towards the detector without passing the distribution matrix.
