Abstract
Mass-transport smoothing has been used to fabricate an array of off-axis ga llium-phosphide microlenses for use in an optical interconnection system em ploying a single macroscopic lens to image an array of vertical-cavity surf ace-emitting lasers (VCSEL's) onto a detector array. Steering the individua l VCSEL beams through the center of the relay lens creates an optical syste m with low distortion.
