Irradiation device and method for irradiating an object

摘要

An irradiation device 1 has a working radiation source 3 for irradiating an object 2 by means of a working, or illuminating, radiation 5. A deflection device 6 is arranged as an active beam guidance and/or beam shaping device for the working radiation 5. A measuring radiation source 4 outputs a measuring radiation 12 onto the object. A receiving device 13 receives the measuring radiation 12 returned from the object. The measuring radiation 12 is guided via the deflection device 6. The device may be embodied as as an automatically repositioning spotlight on a stage that uses the measuring beam to follow a moving object e.g. a performer.
