Abstract

The present invention relates to a beam-guiding and/or frequency-converting optical system as well as to a method of manufacturing same, wherein a beam-emitting optoelectronic component (1), which comprises at least one beam-emerging surface (2) for the emergence of a beam, is provided and connected to a surface (5) of a base (4) in such a manner that the emerging beam extends approximately in parallel with the surface (5) of said base (4). Once the optoelectronic component (1) has been connected to said base (4), a wave-guiding stratified system (4) is deposited and structured and/or locally modified on the surface (5) of said base (4) for guidance and/or frequency conversion of the beam in such a way that a gap-free contact is created between said beam exit surface (2) and said stratified (6) and a pre-determinable beam guidance is achieved.
