Definitions
- the present invention relates to a LIDAR system and a curved protective glass, preferably for a LIDAR system.

- a transmitting unit comprising a light source such as a laser source, and a receiving unit, namely a detector.
- the light source emits light beams, for example laser beams, in the direction of an object, for example a car, and the detector receives the light beam reflected by the object.
- the position of the object can also be determined in order to avoid a collision.
- the LIDAR system can thus, if it is installed for example in a motor vehicle, effectively increase the driving safety of the motor vehicle.
- LI DAR systems often have a scanning and rotating LIDAR sensor.
- the angle of the beam relative to the normal of the interface in front of and behind the protective glass remains the same despite twice the transition of the light (air-glass-air). Therefore, with a non-curved protective glass behind the protective glass, the beam continues in exactly the same running direction as it entered the protective glass. In a curved protective glass, however, changes the direction of the beam. In particular, when the transmitting unit and the receiving unit of the LIDAR sensor are arranged side by side, an amplified beam change occurs at a curved interface, such as the curved protective glass, since the beam passage through the protective glass is then not centered, but laterally offset.
