Understanding fabrication tolerances and limitations helps optical designers develop more effective microlenses for laser diode correction, optical fiber couplers and other applications.

Jeremiah D. Brown

At the heart of many photonics projects is a microlens or an array of microlenses. Whether one is attempting to design and fabricate a laser diode corrector, optical fiber coupler, optical storage device or any other microlens-incorporating device, designing what is fabricatable and fabricating what is designed are obviously the keys to success. The limitations that are inherent to the fabrication process result in a variety of innovative solutions and trade-offs. Newer materials and gray-scale production methods provide great flexibility in design and fabrication. Additionally, a...Read full article
