    Abstract: A light redirecting optical module for a light curtain includes a passive optical element to change a direction of an incident light beam, a carrier unit to which the passive optical element is rigidly fixed, a support unit, wherein the carrier unit has a curved surface at a side facing away from the passive optical element and has a complementary curved surface facing the curved surface, the curved surfaces together forming a rotary joint, engagement means to keep the two curved surfaces engaged to each other to allow for a guided rotary movement of the two surfaces. A passive component of a light curtain includes one or more passive elements to redirect a light beam received from an emitter such that the light beam leaving the passive component impinges on a receiver of the light curtain and a method for aligning passive optical elements.
