A novel method to form plastic lensed fiber that could be used to manufacture in bulk quickly and raise the coupling efficiency is proposed. The way to form plastic lensed fiber is droping the mucilage on the fiber endface which is described in the reference, then the mucilage will be formed ball lens with surface tension. Next step is to force the ball lens to hyperbola shape with electric force.
The method contains some restrictions including controlling the volume of the drop, the shrinking rate after curing, and the shape of the fabricated lens. The way improving the restriction of fabrication to achieve high coupling efficiency is described in this paper.
