Micro-lensed fiber optic plate and methods of forming thereof
Abstract
A method of forming a micro-lensed fiber optic plate. The method includes obtaining a fiber optic plate that has a plurality of fibers arranged in parallel. A first end of a fiber of the plurality of fibers can have a first numerical aperture. The fiber of the plurality of fibers includes a core material running along a length of the fiber that is circumscribed by a layer of cladding material. The method also includes creating a lensed surface at a second end of the fiber of the plurality of fibers. The second end is opposite the first end. The lensed surface of the fiber of the plurality of fibers can have a second numerical aperture that is different from the first numerical aperture.
