초록 ▼

An optical fiber has an end face adjoining the flat side of a plano-convex microlens of spherical curvature made from thermoplastic material. The microlens, overlying at least the entire cross-sectional area of the fiber core at that end face, is produced by juxtaposing a substantially spherical microball with that end face, heating the microball--preferably by a pulsed laser beam--to a temperature at which it deforms and spreads over the fiber face, and letting it cool. Also disclosed is an optimum numerical relationship between the radius of curvature of the convex surface of the microlens and the distance of its apex from a virtual point source, such as a laser, illuminating that microlens with a divergent beam.

대표청구항 ▼

1. In combination, a virtual point source of divergent rays and an optical fiber having an extremity confronting said source for irradiation thereby, said fiber having an axis in line with said source and an end face at said extremity perpendicular to said axis adjoining a flat side of a plano-convex microlens of transparent thermoplastic material with a spherically curved outer surface, said fiber having a core whose cross-sectional area at said end face is completely overlaid by said flat side of said microlens, said microlens having an apex on said axis separated from said source by a distance s related to the radius of curvature r of said outer surface by a ratio s/r approximately corresponding to the geometric mean of a first limiting value (s/r) p =1/(n'-1) and a second limiting value (s/r) l =1/{cos[arcsin (1/n')]-1}, n' being the refractive index of said thermoplastic material and being at least equal to the refractive index of said core. 2. The combination defined in claim 1 wherein said core has a diameter of not less than about 10 microns. 3. The combination defined in claim 1 or 2 wherein n'?1.5, (s/r) p ?2.0 and (s/r) l ?0.34, the ratio s/r being substantially equal to 0.83. 4. The combination defined in claim 1 or 2 wherein n'?2, (s/r) p ?1.0 and (s/r) l ?0.16, the ratio s/r being substantially equal to 0.39. 5. A process for forming on at least one end face of an optical fiber a plano-convex microlens having the shape of a spherical segment joined with its flat side to said end face, comprising the steps of: (a) employing a fiber having a planar end face orthogonal to the axis of the fiber; (b) disposing at the center of said end face a microball of substantially spherical shape made of a transparent thermoplastic material whose refractive index is identical with that of the microlens to be formed and whose initial radius is selected in dependence on the dimensions of the lens to be formed; (c) heating said microball to a temperature sufficiently high to bring about its progressive spread over said end face, said microball thereby assuming in the course of its spread the shape of a perfectly spherical segment which tends to flatten out increasingly as the heating continues; (d) stopping the heating at the instant when said segment reaches the dimensions desired for said microlens; and (e) rigidifying said segment by letting it cool. 6. A process as defined in claim 5 wherein said microball is heated in step (c) by a pulsed laser beam. 7. A process as defined in claim 5 or 6, comprising the further step of smoothing and polishing said end face before disposing said microball thereon in step (b).
