The invention concerns an opto-electronic sensor, in particular for the measurement of opaqueness in a medium, having a transmitter channel (6) irradiating light waves along a first axis (20) and with at least one receiver channel (8, 10) which detects light waves interacting with the medium and which cooperates within an evaluation unit. In order to optically isolate the transmitter and receiver channels from each other, the sensor is configured in such a fashion that a common window (12) made from an optically transparent material is provided for sealing the transmitter channel (6) and the receiver channel (8, 10) with respect to the medium to be measured and for coupling in and coupling out the light waves. The inner border surface (16) of the window (12) facing the receiver channel (8, 10) is adjacent to an optically thinner medium and is oriented relative to the outer border surface (14) of the window (12) directly adjacent to the medium to be measured and with respect to the orientation of the first axis (20) relative to this outer border surface (14), in such a manner that light waves (D-TR) from the transmitter channel (6) which are reflected back into the window (12) from the outer border surface (14) are incident upon the inner border surface (16) at an angle of incidence (alpha2) which is larger than the critical angle for total internal reflection so that they do not enter into the receiver channel (8, 10), but are once more reflected.
