Claim:
1. A detector for determining a position of at least one object, the detector comprising: at least one longitudinal optical sensor, wherein the longitudinal optical sensor comprises at least one sensor region, wherein the longitudinal optical sensor is at least partially transparent, wherein the longitudinal optical sensor generates at least one longitudinal sensor signal in a manner dependent on an illumination of the sensor region by at least one light beam traveling from the object to the detector, wherein the longitudinal sensor signal, given the same total power of the illumination, is dependent on a beam cross-section of the light beam in the sensor region; at least one illumination source for illuminating the object with illumination light through the longitudinal optical sensor; and at least one evaluation device, wherein the evaluation device generates at least one item of information on a longitudinal position of the object by evaluating the longitudinal sensor signal.
