Abstract
An apparatus for optically measuring a distance to a scattering target object or a reflecting target object includes a laser beam source which is embodied as a first electro-optical component, a detector which is embodied as a second electro-optical component and which receives a reception beam that has been scattered at the scattering target object or a reception beam that has been reflected at the reflecting target object, and a laser beam shaping device with a first laser beam shaping optical unit and a second laser beam shaping optical unit where the second laser beam shaping optical unit is disposed downstream of the first laser beam shaping optical unit in a beam path of a laser beam. The second laser beam shaping optical unit is embodied as a first array of reflecting transmission elements where an orientation of the reflecting transmission elements is adjustable by a first control unit.
