Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An illustrative example detection device includes a source of radiation, at least one mirror that reflects radiation from the source along a field of view having a first width, at least one optic component that is configured to refract radiation reflected from the at least one mirror, and at least one actuator that selectively moves the optic component between a first position and a second position. In the first position the optic component is outside of the field of view and does not refract any of the radiation reflected from the at least one mirror. In the second position the optic component is in the field of view and refracts at least some of the radiation reflected from the at least one mirror. The field of view has a second, larger width when the at least one optic component is in the second position.
