Opto-electronic module and devices comprising the same

An opto-electronic module comprising:

• a detecting channel comprising a detecting member for detecting light;
• and
• an emission channel comprising an emission member for emitting light generally detectable by said detecting member;
• wherein the detecting member and the emission member are mounted on a same substrate, each of said detecting channel and said emission channel comprising, respectively, at least two passive optical components each having a respective optical axis, wherein said at least two passive optical components are arranged such that the respective optical axes of the at least two passive optical components do not coincide;
• and at least one of the passive optical components in at least one of the detecting or emission channels constituting a non-rotationally symmetric beam-forming element,
• wherein the at least two passive optical components of the emission channel are arranged such that light emitted by the emission member travels along a path that passes through both of the at least two passive optical components of the emission channel, and
• wherein the at least two passive optical components of the detecting channel are arranged such that light entering the module and detectable by the detecting member travels along a path that passes through both of the at least two passive optical components of the detecting channel.
