AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing optoelectronic devices face challenges in simplifying the supply of light emitted by multiple emitters to a detector, as variations in detector placement can corrupt measurement results and coupling light from multiple emitters into a single detector is technically complex.

Method used

A light-emitting component and optoelectronic device featuring a mounting structure with a holder and processing structure that securely fastens and positions a light guide, allowing for efficient optical coupling of light from multiple emitters into a common light guide, which then directs the light to a detector.

Benefits of technology

This solution enables reliable and efficient light coupling from multiple emitters into a single light guide, simplifying the measurement process and reducing the need for complex optical arrangements, while allowing for flexible device configuration without requiring modifications to the light guide.
