An optical system includes an optical transmitter which emits a scanning light beam into the surroundings along a first beam path, and an optical detector which receives a reflected light beam from the surroundings along a second beam path. In at least one of the first beam path and the second beam path, two mirror surfaces tilted relative to one another by 90° deflect the light beam from a first plane into a second, parallel plane. The mirror surfaces are rotatably supported and coupled to one another so that when the mirror surfaces are rotated together about a rotational axis perpendicular to the planes, scanning of the surroundings takes place so that no tilting of the light beam occurs during the rotation. Beamforming of the scanning light beam takes place, at least partially, via a curvature of the two mirror surfaces and/or via a beamformer in the first beam path.
