Abstract

An optical semiconductor package includes an optical semiconductor component (8), a front face of which has an optical sensor (10), and encapsulation defining a cavity in which the optical component is placed and having external electrical connection (11) of this optical semiconductor component (8). The encapsulation (2, 5) includes a glass pane letting light through to the optical sensor. The encapsulation (2, 5) includes electromagnetic screening (23, 24, 28) made of an electrically conductive material, that is externally connectable, this screening being electrically isolated in the optical semiconductor package from the electrical connection of the optical semiconductor component (8).
