Abstract
A module for a lidar sensor, including: a light-transmitting path having a movable mirror and a light source; and a transmitting-side microlens set-up, which is situated downstream from the light transmitting path; the light transmitting path being configured to illuminate a first microlens of the microlens set-up on the input side, using a first spot of a predefined diameter of a first light beam; the predefined diameter of the spot of the first light beam being greater than a diameter of the first microlens, and a distance of an edge of the first microlens to edges of adjacent microlenses inside of the transmitting-side microlens set-up corresponding to a difference between the predefined diameter of the spot of the first light beam and the diameter of the first microlens.
