Optical module having a multifocal optical system with an additional optical element for covering a far range and a near range in one image

An optical module, comprising

• a semiconductor element (4) with a sensitive surface that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation,
• an objective lens (1) adapted and arranged for the projection of electromagnetic radiation onto the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element (4), and
• an additional optical element (11) arranged in a defined partial volume in a space between the objective lens (1) and the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element (4),
• wherein the objective lens (1) is positioned in such a manner and the additional optical element (11) is dimensioned and arranged in such a manner so that an optical far range (8) of the visual range (10) of the optical module is imaged by the additional optical element (11) onto a first region of the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element (4) and an optical near range (9) of the visual range (10) of the optical module is imaged by the objective lens onto a second region of the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element where the additional optical element (11) is not located.
