The invention relates to an airborne laser scanner configured to be arranged on an aircraft for surveying a target along a flight path, wherein the airborne laser scanner comprises an emitter configured for emitting a plurality of consecutive laser pulses towards the ground surface, at least one optical element configured for deflecting the laser pulses along pulse paths towards the target, a motor configured for moving the optical element to cause a periodically repeating movement of the pulse paths, a receiver configured for receiving the laser pulses backscattered from the target, and a computer configured for controlling the emitter, the motor, and the receiver, determining directions of the pulse paths, and triggering the emitter to emit the laser pulses.
