Posted by waqasahmad http://www.wipo.org/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2002059665 TAPERED LENSED FIBER FOR FOCUSING AND CONDENSER APPLICATIONS Cross-Reference to Related Applications [0001] This application claims priority from U. S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/298,841, entitled"Thermally Formed Lensed Fibers for Imaging and Condenser Applications,"filed June 15,2001 and U. S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/352, 735,"Tapered Lensed Fiber For Focusing and Condenser Applications", filed January 29,2002. Background of Invention Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates generally to lensed fibers for delivering and collecting light in optical communication networks. More specifically, the invention relates to a tapered lensed fiber for focusing and condenser applications and a method for forming the tapered lensed fiber. Background Art [0003] A lensed fiber is a monolithic device having an optical fiber terminated with a lens. Lensed fibers are advantageous because they are easy to assemble, i. e., they do not require active fiber-lens alignment and gluing of fiber to lens, they have low insertion loss, and they enable component miniaturization because they can be made very small. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the lens can be matched to that of the optical fiber to achieve better performance over a temperature range. Lensed fibers are easily arrayed and are therefore desirable for making arrayed devices, for use in silicon optical bench applications, for aligning optical fibers to planar waveguides, and so forth. In addition, the spot size and working distance of the lensed fiber can be tailored for a specific application. For example, the spot size and working distance can be tailored to produce smaller beam diameters that can allow use of smaller micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) mirrors in optical switches.
