Abstract

The 2-D integrated planar microlens (PML) is expected to be used in connection with various 2-D devices in parallel optical fiber communication systems. In this paper, we demonstrate recent progress of PML and its light coupling characteristics. The coupling characteristics between (1) LD and single-mode fiber, (2) LED and GI-50 fiber, (3) single-mode fiber and single-mode fiber, and (4) single-mode fiber and detector were evaluated.
