Abstract:
A detector ( 110 ) for determining a position of at least one object ( 118 ) is proposed. The detector ( 110 ) comprises: —at least one optical sensor ( 112 ), the optical sensor ( 112 ) being configured to detect at least one light spot ( 156 ) generated by at least one light beam ( 150 ) propagating from the object ( 118 ) towards the detector ( 110 ), the optical sensor ( 112 ) having at least one matrix ( 152 ) of pixels ( 154 ), each pixel ( 154 ) being adapted to generate at least one pixel signal s i,j  in response to an illumination of the pixel ( 154 ) by the light beam ( 150 ); —at least one non-linearization device ( 123 ) configured to transform the pixel signals s i,j  of all pixels ( 154 ) i, j or of at least one group of pixels ( 154 ) into nonlinear pixel signals s′ i,j , the nonlinear pixel signals s′ i,j  each being a nonlinear function of the power of the illumination p i,j  of the respective pixel ( 154 ); —at least one summing device ( 125 ) configured to add up the nonlinearpixel signals s′ i,j  of all pixels ( 154 ) i, j or of the at least one group of pixels ( 154 ) and to generate at least one nonlinearsum signal S′=Σ ij s′ ij ; and —at least one evaluation device ( 126 ), the evaluation device ( 126 ) being configured to determine at least one longitudinal coordinate z of the object ( 118 ) by evaluating the nonlinear sum signal S′.

Claim (Index 14):
The detector according to  claim 1 , wherein the detector further comprises at least one transfer device adapted to guide the light beam onto the optical sensor.
