An optoelectronic sensor for detecting objects in a monitored zone is provided that has a light transmitter for transmitting at least one scanning beam, a movable first deflection unit for a periodic deflection of the scanning beam in a first direction, a light receiver for generating a received signal from the scanning beam remitted by objects in the monitored zone, and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to evaluate the received signal to determine the distance from an object scanned by the scanning beam using a time of flight process, A second deflection unit is here configured to additionally deflect the scanning beam in the first direction and/or in a second direction transverse to the first direction without a movement or at most with micromechanically moved elements.

Optoelectronic sensor and method of detecting objects

A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic sensor () is provided that has a reception unit () having a reception optics (), a light receiver (), and a diaphragm () therebetween, wherein the diaphragm () is arranged in a focal plane of the reception optics () so that a received light beam () generated by the reception optics is incident through the diaphragm aperture () of the diaphragm () at the point of smallest constriction. The diaphragm () is manufactured as an individual diaphragm using the reception optics ().
