Abstract
A LIDAR system includes a transmitting device for light; a receiving device for light, including a first and a second photon detector; and an evaluation device that is configured for determining a time period between the emission of light with the aid of the transmitting device and the incidence at the receiving device of the light reflected on an object. The transmitting device is configured for emitting a superimposition of horizontally and vertically polarized light; the first photon detector is configured for detecting only horizontally polarized light, and the second photon detector is configured for detecting only vertically polarized light; in addition, the evaluation device is configured for determining the time period, based on light that is incident on both photon detectors within a predetermined interval.
