Abstract
The invention relates to an emitter device () for an optical detection apparatus () of a motor vehicle (), which is configured in order to scan a surrounding region () of the motor vehicle () by means of a light beam (), and which comprises a light source () for emitting the light beam () and a guiding unit (), the guiding unit () being configured in order to guide the light beam () emitted onto the guiding unit () by the light source () at different scanning angles (α). The light source () for emitting the light beam () comprises at least two separately driveable emitter elements (), which are configured in order to emit the light beam () onto the guiding unit () at angles of incidence (γ) corresponding to predetermined setpoint values (−α) of the scanning angle (α) in order to generate a predetermined setpoint field of view () of the emitter device (). The invention furthermore relates to an optical detection apparatus (), to a motor vehicle () having at least one optical detection apparatus () and to a method for generating a setpoint field of view () for an emitter device () of an optical detection apparatus () of a motor vehicle ().
