A method of manufacturing an electronic module includes providing a base substrate having a first surface, providing a first supporting element having a first portion with an inclined top surface, and affixing the first supporting element to the first surface such that the inclined top surface is inclined with respect to the base substrate. A first reflector is coupled to the inclined top surface such that a rear surface of the first reflector is in physical contact with the inclined top surface of the first portion of the first supporting element, and a spacer structure is configured to form an interface for mounting lateral walls to the base substrate. A cap is positioned over and supported by the lateral walls to thereby define a chamber. The emitter, as well as a detector, are coupled to the first surface of the base substrate.
