When used in microsystems, laser diodes are rarely found alone. The emitted light must typically be focused or collimated and directed through other optical components to perform the function for which the optical system is designed. In particular, components are required for laser beam shaping, spectral and spatial filtering, intensity and phase modulation, guiding, splitting and finally detection. In keeping with the considerations of a microsystem, the optical components which perform these functions are typically of small physical size and the discipline which considers their design, fabrication, assembly and characterization is thus termed micro-optics.
