added ray trace shadows
rendered with mental ray
now it works
but there is still the problem, that i need a "triangle shaped light area".
It should represent a spot laser with a cylinder lense which forms a trinangle....
The whole system is a light section system (laser and camera) for measurements (like in the picture attached in my 2nd post)
i hope someone can help me solve this problem.... is it possible to change the shape of the spot light???

meanwhile i solved my problem like this:
(1) polygon cube --> forming a trinagle
(2) cutting out the "light" behind the object
(3) reverse normals
(4) deleting the "bottom side face"
(5) now i have a line on the objekt which represents my laser line

create a parabola and revolve it. place a spot light at the focal point pointing at the parabolic surface. make the parabolic surface 100% reflective
I think i might go try that now...
