Abstract:
In order to improve the failure proneness of methods or devices for optically measuring distances, it is proposed that the measurement pulses for measuring distances are sent out aperiodically.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for optically measuring distances comprising:\n wherein a plurality of measurement pulses is emitted by means of a pulse-generating unit, wherein the emitted measurement pulses are sent out to measure distances, wherein at least one sent-out measurement pulse is reflected by a target in the form of a reflected measurement pulse, wherein the measurement pulse reflected by the target is detected by means of a detector, wherein the transit time of the measurement pulse to the target is determined, wherein the distance covered by the measurement pulse to the target is determined with the aid of the speed of light, and wherein the measurement pulses for measuring distances are sent out aperiodically.
