Abstract
Methods have been developed for fabricating and testing microlenses on the ends of fiber lightguides by a grinding/polishing method. The eff ect of the parameters of the resulting microlenses on the radiation-in put efficiency of laser diodes has been studied. A radiation input eff iciency of laser diodes into fiber lightguides of up to 93% has been o btained without antireflection coating the ends. (C) 1997 The Optical Society of America.
