Abstract
The invention relates to an optoelectronic component for the positional determination of an incident light beam in a longitudinal axis direction, having flat sides, longitudinal sides and two oppositely disposed end sides, having a low ohmic first contact layer at a first flat side for a first electric contact (cathode) and having at least two low ohmic second contact layers along the end sides for second contacts (anodes). The invention additionally relates to a light sensor having such a component. To provide an improved optoelectronic component for the positional determination of an incident light beam as well as to provide an improved light sensor having such an optoelectronic component, it is proposed that at least one of the second contact layers not only extends along the end side but also over part sections along a second and third long side longitudinal side.
