Abstract
An optoelectronic device, in particular for the detection of obstacles and/or for distance measurement, may include a transmitting device for emitting laser beams. The transmitting device may include an array of pixels where each pixel of the pixel array comprises at least one laser, such as an optoelectronic laser, e.g. a VCSEL. The pixels of the pixel array may be divided into several sets of pixels, and the transmitting device may be configured to operate the sets of pixels in different, successive time intervals.
