Abstract

A LIDAR system including a light source for emitting a light pulse along an optical axis, a deflection device to deflect in an oscillating manner the light pulse along the optical axis in first and second spatial directions so that the light pulse along the optical axis repeatedly runs through a two-dimensional scan pattern, and a control unit for activating and deactivating the light source. The oscillating deflection in the first spatial direction is achieved by repeated first partial movements and second partial movements. The oscillating deflection in the second spatial direction is achieved by repeated third partial movements and fourth partial movements. The control unit activates the light source to emit a light pulse at predefined locations of the scan pattern, and activates the light source to emit a light pulse at different pixels during the first partial movements and/or third partial movements than during the second partial movements and/or fourth partial movements.
