The invention relates to an
eye tracking device (30, 30a, 30b), having an LFI sensor unit (12), which is configured to output an
infrared laser beam (14), receive reflection signals (16, 36) of the
infrared laser beam (14) and provide measurement signals for evaluating eye positions and / or eye distances of an eye (18) arranged in the beam path of the
infrared laser beam (14), and having an optical unit (20), at least comprising a
beam splitter optical unit (22), which is configured to split and deflect the output
infrared laser beam (14) into two or more partial beams (24, 26) prior to incidence on the eye (18), the splitting and deflecting being implemented such that each of the partial beams (24, 26) of the
infrared laser beam (14) is incident on the eye (18) at a different location. It is proposed that the optical unit (20) comprises an LC unit (32) with an LC
cell (34), which is provided for interaction with one of the partial beams (24, 26), and wherein the LC
cell (34) can be controlled in such a way that the LC
cell (34) selectively allows or prevents an interference of the respective partial beam (24, 26) with its backscattered reflection
signal (16, 36) in the LFI sensor unit (12) by correspondingly influencing a polarization of the respective partial beam (24, 26).
