Laser Diodes to Single-Mode Fibers Coupling Employing a Hyperbolic-Shaped Graded-Index Fiber Endface

In this thesis, a novel fiber structure with advantages of high coupling efficiency, long working distance and better alignment tolerance has been presented. In this structure, the front-end of the singe-mode fiber (SMF) was spliced a graded-index fiber (GIF) with 50£gm core diameter. A hyperbolic-shaped lens was fabricated in the front-end of GIF. This novel fiber structure can increase the coupling efficiency of SMF effectively by using the wavefront-transfer characteristic of hyperbolic-shaped lens and the focusing characteristic of GIF.
According to the simulation results, the optimized length of the GIF was 1160£gm. This novel fiber structure can reach to the coupling efficiency of 77% and working distance of 16£gm when the output power of laser diode was operated at 10mW and the radius curvature of lensed fiber was 12.74£gm. The lateral and longitudinal alignment tolerances of this fiber were 0.8£gm and 1.3£gm, respectively. In comparison with the conventional SMF lens, this novel fiber structure has longer working distance and better fiber alignment tolerance. Therefore, this structure can increase the package yield and reduce the fabrication cost for the application of laser module package.
