Abstract

An optoelectronic component comprises: at least one semiconductor chip suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation, a beam shaping element ( 1 ), through which at least part of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip during operation passes and which has an optical axis ( 2 ), and which has an outer contour ( 5 ) with respect to a coordinate system ( 3, 4 ) perpendicular to the optical axis ( 2 ), wherein the contour ( 5 ) constitutes a curve (n) that is mirror-symmetrical with respect to both central axes (a 1 , a 2 ) of an ellipse (e) inscribed by the contour, wherein the following succeed one another in each of the four identical sections between the respective central axes (a 1 , a 2 ): an ellipse segment (b 1 ), a linear part (c 1 ) a second ellipse segment (d), a further linear part (c 2 ) and a third ellipse segment (b 2 ).
