Abstract
Numerous applications based upon the advantages of laser diodes [1]. They are easily adaptable to a specific use and have good electrical to optical energy conversion efficiency. Optical engineers can choose from a wide range of parameters like number of emitters, wavelength, spectral width, brightness, lifetime and type of the heat sink [2]. Laser diode manufacturers optimize the semiconductor design to provide a stable and reliable component [3]. However, they can hardly consider the additional influence of an optical design positioned behind the laser diode. The most important influence on the emitters at standard operation, has the back reflected light from optical elements, e. g. volume Bragg gratings (VBG), collimation optics or fiber facets, as well as reflections from the processed surface of the application.
