Two-Dimensional Alignment-Free Optical Interconnect Using Micro Optical Bench Scheme

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a novel packaging method involving a vertical cavity-surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array. The concept is based on micro optical bench (MOB) placing a laser sub-mount and two-dimensional optical fiber array to match the reference plane of MOB to provide an alignment free optical interconnect. No degradation of I-V and I-L characteristics of the packaged VCSELs was found after use of the proposed packaging process. The coupling loss was about 0.9 dB for λ = 1.55 μm and the loss deviation among channels was less than 0.5 dB in a 2 x 4 ch coupling module between planar microlens and multi-mode fibers.     

A Microoptic Network Unit Using Planar Microlens Array

We propose a new concept for an optical network unit using planar microlens array for fiber to the home networks. It is expected from this modeling that an optical coupling loss of 2.5 dB, a polarization dependent loss of 0.5 dB and an extinction ratio larger than 50 dB can be achieved. The structure design and its fabrication method are discussed.     

Design and Fabrication of Microlens Array for Near-Field Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser Parallel Optical Head

A GaP microlens for collecting laser light was developed in the tip of a near-field probe. It is important to realize a near-field optical probe head with high throughput and a small spot size. The design and fabrication results of the GaP microlens array are described. The most suitable GaP microlens with a probe was calculated as having a 10 μm radius using the two-dimensional finite difference time domain (2-D FDTD) method. The full width half maximum (FWHM) spot size variation and optical power density tolerance were calculated as 157 nm ± 5 nm and 7%, respectively. A spherical GaP microlens was fabricated with a radius of 10 μm by controlling the Cl₂/Ar gas mixture ratio. The difference between the theoretical spherical shape and the fabricated GaP microlens was evaluated as 40 nm at peak to valley. The FWHM spot size and optical throughput of the fabricated microlens were measured as 520 nm and 63%, respectively. The microlens was the same as a theoretical lens with a 10 μm radius. The micron-lens array fabrication process for a near-field optical head was demonstrated in this experiment.     

Optical Dispersion Characteristics of Planar Microlenses

It is essential to know the wavelength dispersion of a planar microlens in order to suitably design optical systems which use such a component. For this purpose, the measurement of focal length over a wide range of the spectrum has been performed. It was clarified that the focal length varies by about 20% from blue (ƛ=0.442 μm) to near-infra red (ƛ=1.55μm) region. The maximum index difference between the lens center and substrate, an important parameter for the characterization of planar microlenses, has been estimated as a function of wavelength using the ray equation. The effect of angled incidence has been discussed.

Ultrathin Planar Microlens Arrays Based on Geometric Metasurface

Ascribing to the properties of two dimensional parallel focusing and imaging, low propagation loss, integration and miniaturization, microlens array has been widely used in imaging, optical communication, organic light emitting devices, adaptive optics, photolithography, biomedical and other applications. However, the existing traditional microlens array suffers from difficulty in fabrication, large‐thickness, curved surface, non‐uniformity of light spots, or requirement of additional discrete components to control the microlens. Herein, a planar microlens array is experimentally demonstrated based on the geometric metasurface. The single microlens is composed of space‐variant subwavelength metallic gratings with high polarization conversion efficiency and thus exhibits gradient phase distribution. The focused spot diameter of 22.5 μm with radius of 350 μm, focal length of 1 cm and the light spots intensity uniformity of 0.9885 (standard deviation 0.0115) at the focal plane are obtained. Moreover, the broadband property of microlens array is also confirmed. The novel design strategy for microlens array would facilitate the miniaturization of optical devices and be easily integrated in the optical interconnected devices.     

Microlens arrays for confocal microscopy

A new; high resolution measuring system based on confocal microscopy has been developed for the evaluation of microlens arrays; in particular for applications in confocal microscopy itself. Lenslet arrays for parallel scanning and processing in confocal microscopy were designed as phase-matched Fresnel lenslets and fabricated by direct laser writing. Replica arrays were produced by ultraviolet embossing and hot embossing techniques. Fabricated arrays with a numerical aperture of 0.28 exhibited near diffraction limited performance and a focal length standard deviation of 120 nm in a nominal value of 250 μm. The technique developed represents a convenient and powerful technique for the characterization of lenslet arrays in general.

Quantitative Measurement of Planar Droplet Sauter Mean Diameter in Sprays using Planar Droplet Sizing

The purpose of this investigation is to assess and improve the accuracy of Sauter Mean Diameter measurements in dense sprays using a Planar Droplet Sizing (PDS) technique, based on the intensity ratio of scattered and fluorescence light. A novel data processing method of the PDS technique is suggested, which was derived from a theoretical light scattering investigation, and reduced possible sizing errors larger than 30% to below 10%. The novel approach for droplet sizing was applied to measure in a spray generated by a pressure swirl atomiser in a liquid‐fuelled burner operated with water at isothermal conditions, in order to avoid the effect of liquid evaporation on the accuracy of PDS technique. The Sauter Mean diameter results from the PDS technique were compared to Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA) sizing measurements. Good agreement was obtained between the two techniques in dense regions of the spray. Discrepancies remained in dilute spray regions due to systematic statistical uncertainties of the PDS technique and the dynamic range of the intensity of the CCD cameras, which did not allow detection of large single droplets in the dilute spray region.
