Claims
- 1. An optical transmitting device, comprising:an optical transmitter with a vertically emitting emission zone; a monitor unit with an optically sensitive reception zone; a lens body disposed between said emission zone and a coupling zone of a coupling partner, said lens body having a coupling zone side proximal to the coupling partner; said emission zone emitting radiation into said lens body including a first radiation component traversing said lens body and striking the coupling zone, and a second radiation component reflecting at said coupling zone side and striking said reception zone of said monitor unit.
- 2. An optical transmitting device, comprising:an optical transmitter with a vertically emitting emission zone; a monitor unit with an optically sensitive reception zone; a lens body disposed between said emission zone and a coupling zone of a coupling partner, said lens body having a coupling zone side proximal to the coupling partner and a boundary surface on said coupling zone side; said emission zone emitting radiation into said lens body including a first radiation component traversing said lens body and striking the coupling zone, and a second radiation component reflecting at said boundary surface on said coupling zone side and is reflected toward said reception zone.
- 3. The transmitting device according to claim 2, wherein said boundary surface is partially silvered.
- 4. The transmitting device according to claim 1, wherein said emission zone is disposed inside said reception zone, as seen projected against an emission direction.
- 5. The transmitting device according to claim 1, wherein said emission zone and said reception zone are disposed adjacent one another, as seen projected against an emission direction.
- 6. The transmitting device according to claim 1, wherein the second radiation component reflected toward said reception zone is intermediately focussed at an intermediate focus.
- 7. The transmitting device according to claim 2, wherein said boundary surface on said coupling zone side is shaped as an envelope of a cone.
- 8. The transmitting device according to claim 2, wherein said emission zone is disposed inside said reception zone, as seen projected against an emission direction.
- 9. The transmitting device according to claim 2, wherein said emission zone and said reception zone are disposed adjacent one another, as seen projected against an emission direction.
- 10. The transmitting device according to claim 2, wherein the second radiation component reflected toward said reception zone is intermediately focussed at an intermediate focus.
- 11. An optical transmitting device, comprising:an optical transmitter with a vertically emitting emission zone; a monitor unit with an optically sensitive reception zone; a lens body disposed between said emission zone and a coupling zone of a coupling partner, said lens body having a coupling zone side proximal to the coupling partner; said emission zone emitting radiation into said lens body including a first radiation component traversing said lens body and striking the coupling zone, and a second radiation component reflecting at said coupling zone side and striking said reception zone of said monitor unit, the second radiation component reflected toward said reception zone is intermediately focussed at an intermediate focus.
- 12. The transmitting device according to claim 11, wherein said lens body is formed with a boundary surface on said coupling zone side, whereat the second radiation component of the radiation is reflected toward said reception zone.
- 13. The transmitting device according to claim 12, wherein said boundary surface is partially silvered.
- 14. The transmitting device according to claim 11, wherein said emission zone is disposed inside said reception zone, as seen projected against an emission direction.
- 15. The transmitting device according to claim 11, wherein said emission zone and said reception zone are disposed adjacent one another, as seen projected against an emission direction.
- 16. The transmitting device according to claim 12, wherein said boundary surface on said coupling zone side is shaped as an envelope of a cone.
