An optoelectronic sensor includes a plurality of light sources for generating transmission light, including at least a first and a second light source. The optoelectronic sensor includes transmission optics for projecting transmission light into the field of view and at least one detector for detecting transmission light reflected by the object. A photonic network has a plurality of irradiation points to each of which transmission light, in particular in each case of exactly one light source, can be supplied. The transmission light exits into the transmission optics and ultimately exits into the field of view. A plurality of irradiation points that are arranged directly next to one another or that are directly adjacent are in this respect configured to irradiate transmission light into partial fields of view, in particular different partial fields of view and/or a plurality of partial fields of view arranged next to one another or are adjacent.
An optoelectronic sensor for detecting an object in a field of view of the sensor, said optoelectronic sensor comprising
