Abstract

An optical module (10) is attached in front of an optical outlet (21) of a monostatic or quasi-monostatic laser rangefinder (20), for the purpose of transversely offsetting a laser beam of primary radiation (F) emitted by the optical outlet. In this manner, the risk of damage to an optical sensor (23) of the rangefinder can be avoided.
