Opto-electronic component with narrow aperture angle
First Claim
1. An opto-electronic component having a narrow aperture angle, comprising:
- a semiconductor chip for either emitting radiation or reacting to radiation mounted on a first side of a metal support strip which includes a plurality of part-strips, a parabolic reflector disposed adjacent said first side of said support strip, said reflector being provided with engaging elements, onto which said support strip is latched, to connect said reflector to said support strip such that said semiconductor chip mounted on said support strip is substantially at the focal point of the parabolic surface of said reflector.

Abstract
The invention relates to an opto-electronic component having a narrow aperture angle. The conventional design of components transmitting radiation or reacting to radiation and concentrating that radiation with the aid of lenses results, on account of the increasing distance between the lens and the semiconductor chip, in increasing component dimensions in the radiating or detecting direction with an increasingly narrow aperture angle. In accordance with the invention, a parabolic or approximately parabolic reflector is provided that is connected to a support strip supporting the semiconductor chip such that the latter is as close as possible to the focal point of the parabolic or approximately parabolic surface of the reflector. The reflector is preferably connected to the support strip by engaging elements and surrounded by a housing.
