Abstract
An optical device is provided for a distance measurement device according to the LIDAR principle. At least one light source is provided, along with a first means of deflection that during operation of the device deflects light emitted by the at least one light source into a first angle range. A second means of deflection is also provided that during operation of the device deflects the light emitted from the first means of deflection into a second angle range which is larger than the first angle range. Finally, an optical means is provided that influences the light in such a way that it hits the second means of deflection as convergent light.
