Abstract
A LIDAR system for detecting an object. The LIDAR system includes a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis, the rotor including at least two transceiver units, each having a detection area, the detection areas being oriented in different directions. Each of the at least two transceiver units includes a transmitting unit including at least one laser for emitting a laser beam into the detection area of the transceiver unit; and a receiving unit for receiving laser light which was reflected by the object in the detection area of the transceiver unit. At least one of the at least two transceiver units includes at least one beam duplication unit for duplicating the at least one laser beam into at least two duplication beams.
