Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include a distance measuring unit for signal transition time-based measurement of a distance to an object located in a detection field, with an emitter unit with multiple emitters, each designed to emit pulses in the form of electromagnetic radiation, a receiver unit for receiving the electromagnetic radiation after a distance-dependent transition time, and a tiltable mirror, wherein the distance measuring unit is configured such that a first of the emitters emits multiple pulses sequentially via the mirror, including at a first time in a first solid angle segment in a first angular position of the mirror, and at a second time in a second solid angle segment in a second angular position of the mirror; and a second of the emitters also emits a pulse in at least one of the solid angle segments via the mirror.
