AI Article Synopsis
- A new technique is introduced for integrating microlenses directly onto the end of an optical fiber bundle using photopolymerization.
- The process involves precise control over the exposure dose and the amount of photopolymerizable solution used.
- The optical properties of these microlenses are analyzed using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) calculations.
Article Abstract
We present a novel route to directly integrate an array of microlenses at the extremity of an optical fiber bundle. The method is based on photopolymerization at the end of the fiber. The method is based on the control of exposure dose and volume of the deposited droplet of photopolymerizable formulation. Optical properties of the integrated microlenses are discussed on the basis of FDTD calculations.
