LIDAR SYSTEM AND ENVIRONMENTAL SENSING METHOD

Abstract

The application relates to a lidar system (10) comprising: an optical transmitter (12) configured to transmit an optical signal (L); an optical receiver (14) configured to receive the optical signal (L) after reflection in a detection area (22) of the lidar system (10); a housing (30) in which the optical transmitter (12) and the optical receiver (14) are arranged, wherein the housing (30) is designed to have an optically active area (34) which influences an optical path (24) of the optical signal (L) and interacts with the optical transmitter (12) and / or the optical receiver (14) such that the influence on the optical path (24) shapes the detection area (22) of the lidar system (10).The application further relates to a vehicle (20) with a lidar system (10), a method for environmental sensing and housing (30) for a lidar system (10).
