Abstract
An improved optical assembly includes a platform which mounts a plurality of optical components operating at multiple wavelengths of light. At least one of the optical components is coated with a filter layer which absorbs stray light generated by the other optical components. The filter layer substantially reduces crosstalk in the optical assembly.
