Abstract
A LIDAR sensor for optically detecting a field of vision. The LIDAR sensor includes a transmitting unit including a laser pattern generation unit, the laser pattern generation unit being designed to generate an illumination pattern in the field of vision; a receiving unit including at least one detector unit for receiving secondary light which was reflected and/or scattered by an object in the field of vision; the at least one detector unit including a plurality of pixels, and at least some pixels in each case including a multitude of activatable single-photon avalanche diodes; at least one rotor unit rotatable about a rotation axis, the transmitting unit and the receiving unit being at least partially situated on rotor unit. The LIDAR sensor furthermore includes at least one linker, which is designed to link detection signals of at least two single-photon avalanche diodes of a pixel via a combinational logic.
