摘要

The invention concerns a light detection and ranging device (1) comprising a main housing (2) with a transparent window (2).
Said light detection and ranging device (1) comprises:
- blowing means (7), and
- a blow nozzle (9), said blow nozzle (9) being arranged near the transparent window (3), for guiding a gas stream along the transparent window (3) so that the gas escapes from the blow nozzle (9) and generates a gas stream envelope (20) on the transparent window (3) directed along the transparent window (3). The device according to the invention is more particularly used:
- for redirecting particles from the outside away from said transparent window and/or
