The invention relates to an optoelectronic module for
coupling light signals into and out of an optical
waveguide. The module has a carrier having at least a first side, a light
transmitter for emitting light signals, which is arranged on the carrier, a
receiver for detecting light signals, which is arranged on the carrier, and a beam-shaping element for
coupling light signals of the
laser diode out of the module and for
coupling light signals into the
receiver. The light
transmitter and the
receiver are both arranged on the first side of the carrier, a shielding means serving to shield the receiver from optical and / or electrical interference signals. As a result, a bidirectional optoelectronic module is provided which is distinguished by
signal conversion that is as precise as possible and, at the same time, is comparatively cost-effective in terms of production.
