DETECTION DEVICE WITH AT LEAST ONE SENSOR DEVICE, AN ANALYSIS DEVICE, A LIGHT SOURCE, AND A CARRIER MEDIUM

A carrier medium is designed as a waveguide on which a coupling region and a decoupling region are provided. The coupling region is designed to couple light, which has been emitted from a light source and reflected on an object in the surroundings, into the carrier medium. The coupled reflected light is then transmitted to the decoupling region by internal reflection, and the reflected light is decoupled again at the decoupling region and is transmitted to the at least one sensor device, which is designed as a time-of-flight camera device. The sensor device provides the detected light in the form of sensor data, describing the propagation time of the light reflected on the object, to an analysis device that obtains object data, which describes the position of the object.
