OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT FOR DETECTING A GASE

Abstract

An optoelectronic component for detecting a gas is described. According to one embodiment, the optoelectronic component (1) for detecting a gas (9) comprises a radiation-emitting element (4) configured to emit electromagnetic radiation (10), a measuring unit (5) comprising a measuring range (51) and a reference range (52), and a detector unit (6) comprising at least a first photodetector range (61) and a second photodetector range (62), wherein the measuring range (51) is arranged in a first beam path of the electromagnetic radiation (10) between the radiation-emitting element (4) and the first photodetector range (61), and wherein the reference range (52) is arranged in a second beam path of the electromagnetic radiation (10) between the radiation-emitting element (4) and the second photodetector range (62).wherein the first beam path and the second beam path are reflective, and wherein the optoelectronic component (1) is surface-mountable. In particular, the radiation-emitting element (4) comprises a micro-LED.
