Silica-based fibre Fresnel lens

A method of fabricating Fresnel lenses onto the tips of fibres is described and demonstrated. This involves a simple variant of standard fibre fabrication techniques that allows ultra-fine control of the dopant concentration profile. Conventional etching techniques allow fabrication of the Fresnel l...

Summary:A method of fabricating Fresnel lenses onto the tips of fibres is described and demonstrated. This involves a simple variant of standard fibre fabrication techniques that allows ultra-fine control of the dopant concentration profile. Conventional etching techniques allow fabrication of the Fresnel lens on the fibre tip.
