“…In order to reduce the diffraction cross talk between neighboring interconnects, free-space optical interconnect systems can use MLs with Gaussian transmittance [103][104][105][106]. The advantages of this configuration in minimizing cross talk have been proven through simulation of the optical field at the detector array.…”

Microlenses (MLs) and microlens arrays (MLAs) are assuming an increasingly important role in optical devices. In response to this rapid evolution in technology, emphasis is being placed on research into new manufacturing methods for these devices as well as the characterization of their performance. This paper provides an overview of the fabrication of MLs and MLAs by electrical, mechanical, chemical, and optical methods. As each processing method has distinct advantages and limitations, the most significant characteristic parameters and the measurement of these parameters are discussed for each method. These parameters are then used as indices to evaluate and improve each of the processing methods. Some examples of practical applications of MLAs, especially for micromechanical optoelectronic devices, are also given. This paper aims to summarize the present development and the state of the art in processing technology of MLs and MLAs.
