Abstract
A sensor device for detecting an object with the aid of light of at least one wavelength, including a transmitting unit for emitting light using at least one light source and a receiving unit for receiving light, the light emitted by the transmitting unit in the plane perpendicular to the transmit path having the form of a circumferential surface, which includes an inner area to which light is not applied, an optical element being situated in a shared part of the transmit and receive paths, in such a way that the cross-section surface of the optical element in the plane perpendicular to the transmit path essentially completely overlaps with its cross-section surface the inner area to which light is not applied.
