Abstract
An optical system comprising an optical coherence tomography (OCT) measuring device and a beam deflection unit for laterally deflecting the position or angle of a beam path of the OCT measuring device. There is an optical component in the beam path, said optical component being embodied in such a way that a back-reflection of the optical component has a different configuration in terms of its longitudinal location along the beam path depending on the lateral position of the deflected beam path on the optical component. The optical system comprises an evaluation unit which is embodied in such a way that a value of the lateral position or angle deflection of the beam deflection unit is determinable on the basis of a longitudinal location of the back-reflection at the optical component determined by the OCT measuring device.
