Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005067676A2] A method is provided for manufacturing a lensed tip optical fiber. The method includes providing an optically transparent cylindrical fiber and etching a first end of the optically transparent cylindrical fiber to form a tip. The tip is heated which forms a lens surface at the heated tip. This lensed tip optical fiber makes optical alignment with other optical fibers and coupling of the optical fiber with photonic devices less burdensome.
