An embodiment of the invention relates to an optical module comprising at least one optoelectronic component capable of generating or receiving radiation; at least one access port for receiving or emitting the radiation; at least one free-space beam path located between the access port and the optoelectronic component; at least one mirror located in said beam path; at least one attenuation unit located in said beam path; the attenuation unit having a reflecting surface section and an absorbing surface section; and, a control unit for adjusting the amount of radiation which is directed towards the absorbing surface section of the attenuation unit by controlling at least one or all of the following: the position of the mirror, the orientation of the mirror, the position of the attenuation unit and/or the orientation of the attenuation unit. 1. An optical module comprising:at least one optoelectronic component capable of generating or receiving radiation;at least one access port configured to receive or emit the radiation;at least one free-space beam path located between the access port and the optoelectronic component;at least one mirror located in said beam path;at least one attenuation unit located in said beam path, the attenuation unit having a reflecting surface section and an absorbing surface section; anda control unit configured to adjust the amount of radiation which is directed towards the absorbing surface section of the attenuation unit by controlling at least one of the following: the position of the mirror, the orientation of the mirror, the position of the attenuation unit and the orientation of the attenuation unit.2. The optical module according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the absorbing surface section is formed by a photodetector.3. The optical module of claim 1 , wherein the reflecting surface section is located adjacent to or surrounded by the absorbing surface section.4. The optical module of claim 2 , wherein the reflecting surface ...
