Claim 17:
18. An optoelectronic sensor for detecting objects in a monitored region, the optoelectronic sensor comprising:
a plurality of light transmitters for transmitting a plurality of light beams separated from one another and starting from respective individual transmission points respectively located at the plurality of light transmitters;
a common transmission optics for the transmitted light beams;
a plurality of light receivers for generating a respective received signal from the remitted light beams reflected from the objects and incident at respective individual reception points respectively located at the plurality of light receivers, and
a common reception optics for the remitted light beams and an evaluation unit for obtaining information on the objects from the received signals,
wherein respective transmission points of the plurality of light transmitters are arranged on a first circular line and/or respective reception points of the plurality of light receivers are arranged on a second circular line,
wherein at least one of the light transmitters and the light receivers form components having basic surfaces, wherein the basic surfaces are at least partly rotated with respect to one another in a plane defined by the corresponding one of the first and/or second circular lines, and
wherein at least one of the plurality of light transmitters and the plurality of light receivers form components having basic surfaces, wherein the basic surfaces are at least partly rotated with respect to one another in a plane defined by a corresponding one of the first and/or second circular lines.
