OPTOELECTRONIC TRANSCEIVER

An optoelectronic transceiver including an optoelectronic transmitting unit disposed along an optical axis and having a radiation-emitting layer region and an active radiation-sensitive layer region. The optoelectronic transceiver further including an optoelectronic receiving unit disposed along the optical axis and is disposed in bridge-like fashion above the optoelectronic transmitting unit. The optoelectronic receiving unit having an active radiation-sensitive layer region disposed perpendicular to the optical axis and located in a thin membrane, which is disposed immediately in front of the radiation-emitting layer region of the optoelectronic transmitting unit, and a radiation-emitting layer region.
