Abstract

A laser component with a laser array and an optical device for shaping the laser beams emitted by the laser array. The optical device comprises a deflection mirror element following the laser array in the beam direction that simultaneously deflects the individual laser beams of the emitted laser array beam from the radiation direction with respectively the same rotational sense parallel to the common plane and perpendicular thereto. The deflection mirror element is composed of a step-shaped light waveguide stack.
