The flat endface of an optical fiber tip is an emerging light-coupled microscopic platform that
combines fiber optics with planar micro-and nanotechnologies. Since different materials and …

Photonic crystal fibers present a wavelength-scale periodic microstructure running along
their length. Their core and two-dimensional photonic crystal might be based on varied …

Micro-optics are widely used in numerous applications, such as beam shaping, collimation,
focusing and imaging. We use femtosecond 3D printing to manufacture free-form micro …

We demonstrate a compact all-fiber sampling probe for an optical coherence tomography
(OCT) system. By forming a focusing lens directly on the tip of an optical fiber, a compact …

We report a compact all-fiber Bessel beam generator using hollow optical fiber (HOF) and
coreless silica fiber based on a self-assembled polymer lens. A nearly diffraction-free Bessel …

In this paper, we present a technique for producing fibers optics micro-collimators composed
of polydimethylsiloxane PDMS microlenses of different radii of curvature. The waist and …

Recently published studies on fiber-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) are
reviewed mainly in relation to applications within the fields of biomedical imaging and …

We present a compact all-fiber zone plate lens directly ablated on the surface of a mode-
expanded hybrid fiber end by using a high precision femtosecond laser processing …

In this paper, we present the design, construction, and testing of a monolithic fiber end cap
collimator for high-power free-space fiber–fiber coupling applications. The collimator is …

We report the fabrication and performance of a lensed photonic crystal fiber (PCF) designed
as a compact but effective side-viewing optical imaging probe. The lensed-PCF probe was …
