An optoelectronic component has an LED (5) and a photodetector (6) mounted on a base (1). A housing has lenses (11, 12) for transmission of emitted/received light. A building block (13) of thin metal plate has a plurality of legs (16, 17) which, when mounting the housing on the base, are squeezed between the housing and the base and provide a mechanical locking of these two units in the desired position in relation to each other. The building element (13) has a bent-down screen portion and/or el...

In a transmitting and receiving optoelectronic device, a wave-separating filter (16) is disposed at a position deviated from 45.degree. with respect to the optical axis of transmission light (6), or the internal wall surface of a light passage hole (15A) of a support (15) is inclined with respect to the optical axis of the transmission light (5). In another arrangement, a light-transmitting optical unit (1) and a wave-separating optical unit (13) are provided as separate units, and optical-axis ...

An optoelectronic device includes a first n-type epitaxial layer, an active layer having a second epitaxial layer grown on said first layer and a third epitaxial layer of p-type material in the form of a ridge structure selectively grown on or over the active layer, in which a p-n junction is formed in the active layer between a region of p-type material aligned beneath the ridge, and adjacent n-type regions of the active layer, the underlaying first layer being wholly n-type. A method of fabric...

An optoelectronic component with luminescence-emitting properties has an optoelectronic element with a body having at least a section that is at least partially light-transparent for allowing emission of luminescence. The component further has a member having at least a portion that is at least partially light-transparent. The portion of the member encloses the section of the body of the optoelectronic element, whereby the section and the member are in contact with one another by areally resting...

An optoelectronic device containing a base plate, a first lead fixed to the base plate, a first bonding face for a light-emitting element fixed to the base plate and a second bonding face for a light-receiving element fixed to the base plate. The first and second bonding faces orient different directions. A top end part of the first lead protruding form the base plate has a third bonding face parallel to the first bonding face and a fourth bonding face parallel to the second bonding face. Each e...

An optoelectronic module having a housing and a supporting element for optical and electronic components situated in the housing. At least one optical component is situated in the housing as well as on the supporting element. The supporting element is connected to the housing via fastening arrangements. Subsequently to assembly of the supporting element, the fastening arrangements are upset in such a way that the material of the fastening arrangement fills the recesses situated in the supporting...

An optoelectronic apparatus for detecting objects in a monitored region includes a transmitter that emits transmission light, a receiver that receives a reflected light, and an evaluation unit, in which the transit time t.sub.o of the transmission light that is guided in the monitored region and reflected back, as a reflected light, by an object is evaluated. The transmitter emits the transmission light in the form of a sequence of transmission light pulses. A portion of the light quantity of a ...

An optoelectronic micromodule (201) comprises an optoelectronic component (204), which is fixed on a main carrier (202) and can emit light in an emission direction (206) directed parallel to a main carrier surface (203) of the main carrier (202), and a radiation variation unit (208), which is arranged in the emission direction (206) and fixed to an auxiliary carrier (209), which has an auxiliary carrier surface (210) which is oriented plane-parallel to the main carrier surface (203) and is in to...

An optoelectronic assembly (300) includes a laser (102) for emitting light along a main optical path. Beam splitters (110, 114) split a proportion of light from the main optical path and the split light is guided by optical light guides (310) to a photodiode array (302). The light guides (310) are mouldable and substantially rigid and can be co fabricated as a single assembly including fiducials to facilitate positioning on a substrate (124) of the assembly (300). By having the array (302) adjac...
