Abstract
An optical system is described, in particular for a LIDAR device, which includes a lens array having a multitude of microlenses and a lens system for deflecting beams out of a scanning area or into the scanning area, the lens system being situated in the beam path between the scanning area and the lens array, the system including at least one wedge array having a multitude of wedge elements situated upstream or downstream from the lens array in the radiation direction, a number of wedge elements equaling a number of microlenses. A LIDAR device is also described.
