Abstract
An optical sensor includes first and second light detectors, an optical path, and an evaluation unit. The first light detector detects light in the infrared wavelength range. A light sensitivity of the CCD sensors of the first and second light detectors differ from one another with regard to a predefined wavelength range. The first and second light detectors include pixels in columns and situated next to one another so that a first longitudinal side of the first light detector adjoins a first longitudinal side of the second light detector, and the first and second light detectors receive light via the optical path. The first and second light detectors generate first and second measuring signals, respectively, from electrical charges. The evaluation unit receives the first measuring signals at a first sampling frequency and the second measuring signals at a second sampling frequency, and combines these to form an output signal.
