Abstract

A LIDAR apparatus for scanning a scan region with at least one beam is described. The LIDAR apparatus includes at least one beam source for generating the at least one beam; having a mirror for deflecting the at least one generated beam toward the scan region; and having a detector mirror for deflecting at least one beam, reflected at an object, onto a defined region of a detector, the mirror and the detector mirror being disposed on a rotor rotatably around a vertical rotation axis, and the detector mirror focusing the at least one reflected beam onto the detector. A method for operating a LIDAR apparatus is also described.
