Abstract

AbstractA theoretical approach for an optical lens tip on a single-mode fiber end to improve power coupling from laser diode is presented in this work. The lens shape considered here is an ellipsoid. Based on scalar diffraction and Gaussian mode shapes for the laser and fiber fields, a theoretical model is developed to predict the coupling performance of this microlens. Theoretically, both a high coupling efficiency up to 77% and a large alignment tolerance for 10% off-peak are achieved. The proposed method facilitates mass production to achieve a high-yield and high-coupling efficiency that is suitable to be used in the commercial fiber transmission industry.
