1. An optoelectronic device comprising:
- a light source;
a generally coplanarly disposed detector, said detector receiving light from said light source;
a light conductive inner encapsulate molded around said light source and said detector;
an opaque light reflective outer encapsulate molded around and interfaced with a surface of said light conductive inner encapsulate; and
a lens disposed above, and in a light path between, said light source and said detector.

7. A multichannel optocoupler comprising:
-
a plurality of light emitters;
a plurality of photodetectors, each of said photodetectors disposed generally coplanarly with a corresponding one of said light emitters providing an emitter and photodetector set, each of said photodetectors receiving light from said corresponding one of said light emitters;
a light conductive inner encapsulate molded to encapsulate said light emitters and said photodetectors; and
an opaque light reflective outer encapsulate molded to encapsulate said light conductive encapsulate and to interface with a surface of said light conductive, said outer encapsulate and inner encapsulate defining a plurality of walls, each of said walls disposed between each emitter and photodetector set. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
