MICRO-OPTICS & PHOTONICS
Applications
Microlight3D technologies, notably microFAB-3D, enable complex optical microstructures such as microlenses to be printed on a variety of substrates, including at the end of optical fibers. The resolution of 200 nm offered by microFAB-3D allows the fabrication of precise microlenses in any shape and dimension. The surface roughness of the microlenses obtained is less than 20 nm, which guarantees excellent optical quality by minimizing scattering and light loss.
Micro-lenses spaced 100 µm and 200 µm over the tip of an optical fiber for transceivers applications. Pillars were realized at low resolution for faster printing, and lenses at high resolution to get a smooth surface. - Realized with microFAB-3D.Advanced
