Abstract

An optoelectronic module for bidirectional optical data transmission has a molded element provided as a beam splitter, which consists essentially of a material that is transparent for the emitted radiation and the received radiation, and in which a beam splitter is embedded. A transmitting component, a receiving component and a radiation focusing device are advantageously directly connected to the molded element.
