Gazebo depth sensor mirrors max range points in front of camera

edit

I don't know how to describe this best, but rays which don't hit an obstacle are just placed in front of camera.

You see this wall at beginning of the point cloud. Those are points not hitting an obstacle I think, but don't know how to get rid of them..

my ensor config:

<joint name="${name}optical__joint" type="fixed">
            <parent link="${name}_link"/>
            <child link="${name}_optical_link"/>
            <origin xyz="0.1 0.1 0" rpy="${PI/2} ${PI} ${PI/2}" />
        </joint>

        <link name="${name}_optical_link"/>

        <gazebo reference="${name}_optical_link">
