Optoelectronic modules with temperature-independent characteristics

An optoelectronic module operable to collect signals and being characterized by substantially temperature-independent performance characteristics, the module comprising:

• a light-generating component operable to emit light, wherein the light-generating component exhibits temperature-dependent performance characteristics;
• and
• a light-sensitive component operable to collect at least a portion of the light emitted by the light-generating component, wherein the light-sensitive component exhibits temperature-dependent performance characteristics;
• wherein the temperature-dependent performance characteristics of the light-generating component and the temperature-dependent performance characteristics of the light-sensitive component complement each other such that the optoelectronic module exhibits substantially temperature-independent performance characteristics.
