Abstract
A functionalized waveguide for a detector system and a lighting and/or projection system includes a transparent base body. A first outcoupling region deflects at least a part of the incoupled radiation hitting the first outcoupling region, such that the deflected part exits the base body via a front side or a rear side thereof in order to hit the detector system. The extent of the first incoupling region in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction is greater than the extent of the first outcoupling region in the second direction. The base body has a second outcoupling region, which deflects at least a part of light from a light source or image source hitting the second outcoupling region as illuminating radiation, such that the deflected part is used for illumination and/or projection.
