Abstract

A method for scanning solid angles is provided using at least two electromagnetic beams, at least one electromagnetic beam being generated that is subsequently deflected along a horizontal angle and/or along a vertical angle with the aid of a rotatable mirror; the solid angles being scanned using the at least one electromagnetic beam; and at least one reflected electromagnetic beam being received, after being reflected off an object, by a receiving optics that is pivotable along the horizontal angle synchronously with the mirror. Furthermore, a LIDAR device for carrying out the method is provided.
