Abstract
A LiDAR system and a method for ascertaining a system state of a LiDAR system, includes an optical source, a mirror, a partially transparent element, a detector array and an evaluation unit. The optical elements of the LiDAR system are arranged so that a component of the light beam is reflected by the partially transparent element onto the detector array. The evaluation unit is configured to receive a detector signal from the detector array, which describes a dimension, shape and/or position of the second component of the light beam projected on the detector array, and to ascertain from the detector signal a system state of the LiDAR system.
