1. An optoelectronic component emitting electromagnetic radiation, the optoelectronic component comprising:

  • a housing body which has a trench like cavity therein;

    a plurality of semiconductor chips arranged on a substantially planar surface of a common carrier and linearly within said trench like cavity; and

    at least one optical element provided to reduce a divergence of an electromagnetic radiation and jointly allocated to the plurality of semiconductor chips;

    wherein two neighboring semiconductor chips have a distance from one another which is less than or equal to 1.5 times a top surface edge length of the plurality of semiconductor chips and greater than or equal to 0 μ

    m,wherein the optical element is a non-imaging optical concentrator having a concentrator exit,wherein the concentrator exit of the non-imaging optical concentrator is arranged to be a radiation entry of the optical element so that the electromagnetic radiation passes through the non-imaging optical concentrator in a reverse concentration direction and is thus not concentrated but leaves the non-imaging optical concentrator with reduced divergence through a radiation exit of the optical element,wherein an arrangement of the plurality of semiconductor chips has a first and a second end,wherein the first end has at least two semiconductor chips which are arranged along a first straight line which is inclined with respect to a second straight line along which has at least second two semiconductor chips arranged at the second end,wherein the first straight line is inclined with respect to the second straight line by an angle of inclination of less than or equal to 20° and

    greater than or equal to 10°

    , andwherein the radiation entry has at least one of a radiation entry area and a radiation entry opening which has a width of less than or equal to 1.5-times an edge length of the plurality of semiconductor chips.
