Abstract:
1. A modular system of optoelectronic components, comprising: a plurality of prefabricated optoelectronic components selected from the group consisting of light-emitting components having a light-emitting element, light-detecting components having a light-detecting element, and transceiver components having a light-emitting element and a light-detecting element; each of said components having a standardized housing and at least one of said light-emitting element and said light-detecting element located inside said housing; said housing being formed with or connected to a connecting device for mechanically connecting said housing to at least one respectively other housing of a further component; each component having a cuboid component housing with narrow faces and broad faces, and each component having an optical interface for inputting and/or outputting light and electrical contacts, said optical interface and said electrical contacts being disposed on said narrow faces of said cuboid component housing, and said components being connectible to one another at said broad faces by said mechanical connecting device.
