Abstract
An operating method for a LIDAR system that is operable by pulse sequence encoding and designed with a SPAD-based detector element, in which a down time of the SPAD-based detector element is detected, and in the transmission mode of the LiDAR system, a minimum time interval of transmission pulses of primary light to be transmitted in direct chronological succession is dimensioned in such a way that the minimum time interval at least approximately corresponds to the down time.
