Abstract
We use a flexible two-photon photopolymerization direct laser writing to fabricate an integrated diffractive lens system on a fiber tip to expand the output beam of the fiber. The results show that the micro-integrated beam expander based on double lenses (axial size of about 100 μm) has a magnification of 5.9 and a loss of 0.062 dB. Subsequently, we demonstrate the fabrication of a spiral phase plate (diffractive optical elements) and micro-lens arrays (refractive optical elements) on an integrated beam expander, and their optical properties are measured and analyzed, respectively. This Letter is an exploration of the future integrated micro-optical systems on an optical fiber tip.
