Abstract
An optoelectronic component has a housing (3) connected to a light guide (7, 8) for transmission of light to/from two optoelectronic semiconductor elements (1, 2) mounted in the housing. Light to a first one of the semiconductor elements (2) is deflected towards this element by a partially transmitting mirror (5). For common adjustment during assembly, the semiconductor element (2) and the mirror (5) are spherically journalled in the housing. The second semiconductor element (1) is rotatably journalled in relation to the mirror (5) and the first semiconductor element (2) for adjustment during assembly.
Claims6
An optoelectronic component for emitting and/or receiving light, and a housing (3), a first (2) and a second (1) optoelectronic semiconductor element (1) as well as a semitransparent mirror (5) for deflecting incident and/or emitted light to or from the first semiconductor element, wherein the mirror and the first semiconductor element are mounted in a first spherical body (4), which is adjustably journalled in a spherical recess (31) in the housing, and that the second semiconductor element (1) is mounted in a second spherical body (6) which is adjustably journalled in a cylindrical recess in the first spherical body (4).
