“…В основе этого соединения лежит бесконтактная технология соединения излучения оптических волокон, получившая название Expanded Beam («расширенный пучок») [2][3][4]. Среди ее преимуществ можно выделить меньшую проницаемость для загрязнений и повреждений [5][6][7][8][9]. В этом случае на торцах соединяемых волокон устанавливаются сферические линзы, с помощью которых свет, распространяющийся в волокне, сначала преобразуется в параллельный световой пучок большего диаметра, а затем снова фокусируется на торец второго волокна.…”

“…In this study, we demonstrate a method that accomplishes two-dimensional, wavelengthtolerant collimation or focusing of light coupled out of high-numerical-aperture channel waveguides by integrating micrometer-sized ball lenses with the optical waveguide chip. In the field of optical communication, commercially available ball lenses are used to realize efficient fiber-to-fiber or waveguide-to-fiber coupling [9][10][11]. In these studies, the ball lenses need to be aligned one by one, which is a precise and time consuming task.…”

We demonstrate a fabrication procedure for the direct integration of micro-ball lenses on planar integrated optical channel waveguide chips with the aim to reduce the divergence of light that arises from the waveguide in both horizontal and vertical directions. Fabrication of the lenses is based on photoresist reflow which is a procedure that allows for the use of photolithography for careful alignment of the lenses with respect to the waveguides and enables mass production. We present in detail the design and fabrication procedures. Optical characterization of the fabricated micro-ball lenses demonstrates a good performance in terms of beam-size reduction and beam shape. The beam half divergence angle of 1544 nm light is reduced from 12.4 ° to 1.85 °.

“…Many articles related to ball lens applications have appeared in the technical literature, however, the ball lenses using these methods is micro ball lenses or microlens array, diameters is less than 0.3mm [8][9][10][11][12][13], and the methods of fabrication are complex and the manufacturing cost is high. In this paper, we describe a new method, the sagging method, which can be used to fabricate the ball lenses which diameter are from 0.3mm to 5mm economically, and the basic performances, such as effective focal length(EFL)、back focal length(BFL) and numerical aperture(NA), are analyzed.…”
