Abstract
The invention relates to an optical assembly () comprising a pulsed light source () for generating primary light pulses (), a pulse splitter () for splitting said primary light pulses () into first and second secondary light pulses (), and a delay element () for delaying said second secondary light pulses () relative to said first secondary light pulses (), where the pulse repetition rate of said pulsed light source () is variable in order to change a temporal delay between different secondary light pulses () The invention is characterized in that said optical assembly () comprises a thermal insulation (), a temperature stabilizer () or a temperature compensator () for said delay element () and/or a control circuit () for determining and controlling a drift of said pulse repetition rate.
