Patent ID: 8541732

Claim:
An optical module, comprising a semiconductor element ( 4 ) with a sensitive surface that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, an objective lens ( 1 ) adapted and arranged for the projection of electromagnetic radiation onto the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element ( 4 ), and an additional optical element ( 11 ) arranged in a defined partial volume in a space between the objective lens ( 1 ) and the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element ( 4 ), wherein the objective lens ( 1 ) is positioned in such a manner and the additional optical element ( 11 ) is dimensioned and arranged in such a manner so that an optical far range ( 8 ) of the visual range ( 10 ) of the optical module is imaged by the additional optical element ( 11 ) onto a first region of the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element ( 4 ) and an optical near range ( 9 ) of the visual range ( 10 ) of the optical module is imaged by the objective lens onto a second region of the sensitive surface of the semiconductor element where the additional optical element ( 11 ) is not located.
