Abstract
A transmitting device for emitting light having at least one frequency, the transmitting device being designed to emit light in different angular ranges in such a way that the frequency of the light in the particular angular range is varied in a respective frequency range dependent on time, frequencies in different frequency ranges not overlapping for different angular ranges at different times.

1-12. (canceled)
A transmitting device for emitting light having at least one frequency, the transmitting device being configured to emit light in different angular ranges in such a way that a frequency of the light in a particular angular range is time-dependently varied in a respective frequency range, frequencies in the different frequency ranges not overlapping for different angular ranges at different times.
The transmitting device as recited in clam 13, wherein the transmitting device is configured to linearly vary the frequency in the particular angular range over time to increase the frequency from a starting frequency to an ending frequency.
A receiving device for receiving light emitted using a transmitting device, comprising:
- a separating unit configured to separate frequencies of different frequency ranges varying over time;
- and
- at least one detector configured to convert the received light into electrical signals.
A sensor device, comprising:
- a transmitting device for emitting light having at least one frequency, the transmitting device being configured to emit light in different angular ranges in such a way that the frequency of the light in a particular angular range is time-dependently varied in a respective frequency range, frequencies in the different frequency not overlapping for different angular ranges at different times;
- and
- a receiving device for receiving light emitted using the transmitting device, the receiving device including:
- a separating unit configured to separate frequencies of different frequency ranges varying over time;
- and
- at least one detector configured to convert the received light into electrical signals.
A method for emitting light having at least one frequency, the method comprising:
- emitting the light in different angular ranges in such a way that a frequency of the light in a particular angular range is time-dependently varied in a respective frequency range, frequencies in different frequency ranges not overlapping for different angular ranges at different times.
A method for receiving light having different frequency ranges, the method comprising:
- separating frequencies of different frequency ranges, the frequencies varying over time;
- and
- converting the received light converted into electrical signals.
