Problems solved by technology

The third is to use high-precision 3D printing technology to print polymer lenses directly on the fiber end surface in recent years to prepare fiber microlenses. This method can prepare microlenses and microlenses with high precision and high degree of design freedom. arrays, but the required equipment is very expensive and difficult to obtain, and polymer materials have limited its range of applications
The optical waveguide lens can be used for collimation or focusing of light beams, but the lens manufactured by this method has complicated process and high production cost

Abstract

The invention provides a fiber integrated micro lens group. It is characterized in that it is composed of two optical fiber connections prepared by thermal diffusion, and the refractive index distribution is respectively a circumferentially symmetrical quasi-Gaussian distribution and a circumferentially symmetrical reversed quasi-Gaussian distribution. The fiber-integrated microlens group is made by placing the optical fiber in a constant temperature field, preparing and connecting it through thermal diffusion. After the fiber core dopant is diffused, the refractive index distribution becomes a circumferentially symmetrical quasi-Gaussian distribution, which can be equivalent to a micro Convex lens; the refractive index distribution becomes a circumferentially symmetrical reverse quasi-Gaussian distribution, which can be equivalent to a micro-concave lens. The invention mainly provides a method for constructing an optical fiber micro-lens, and at the same time constructs a fiber-integrated micro-lens group in an optical fiber. The invention can be used for the preparation of fiber-integrated microlenses, and can be widely used in fields such as micro-endoscopes based on fiber-integrated microlens groups, cell-biological optical fiber imaging systems, optical fiber optical tweezers systems, and miniature unmanned aerial vehicles.
