3. Optical Components

In photonic systems, optical components are responsible for shaping beams at the source (home lighting, automotive lighting, laser emitters, video projectors, etc.), transmitting them (optical fibers), or collecting them (detection systems, imaging systems, solar concentrators, etc.).

3.1 Optical Design

Optical design relies primarily on the laws of geometric optics to define the various components (lenses, mirrors, gratings, fibers, filters, etc.) from both a dimensional perspective (shape, thickness, surface finish, position, etc.) and an optical perspective (transmission, reflection, refractive indices, material homogeneity, etc.), as well as the mechanics involved.
