1. A transmitting device for emitting light having at least one frequency, the transmitting device being configured to emit light simultaneously in different angular ranges in such a way that a frequency of the light in a particular angular range is time-dependently varied in a respective frequency range, frequencies in the different frequency ranges not overlapping for different angular ranges at different times;
wherein the transmitting device is configured to emit the light in the different angular ranges simultaneously as a plurality of simultaneous non-overlapping frequency ramps, the frequency ramps each linearly increasing in frequency over time in the particular angular range or linearly decreasing in frequency over time in the particular angular range.
