    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mode conversion device that is configured to facilitate efficient coupling of optical signals passing between an optical part having a different mode field from the device and/or another waveguide. SOLUTION: The device for altering the mode field of the optical signals includes: a pigtail fiber 22; a GRIN fiber lens 24 which is directly splice-joined to one end of the pigtail fiber 22 and has a larger outer diameter than that of the pigtail fiber 22; and a reflection surface 26 which is arranged to one end of the GRIN fiber lens 24. An additional reflection element 36 may be arranged on the reflection surface 26 by fixing or other methods. An optical beam path 38 is emitted from the core 40 of the pigtail fiber 22 and is re-orientation toward a curved surface 34 at the reflection surface 26. The curved surface 34 forms a conic surface, condenses beams along one axis and functions as a cylindrical lens in order to avoid condensation along the other axis. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: A fiber lens includes a graded-index lens, a single-mode fiber disposed at a first end of the graded-index lens, and a refractive lens having a hyperbolic or near-hyperbolic shape disposed at a second end of the graded-index lens to focus a beam from the single-mode fiber to a diffraction-limited spot.

    Abstract: A multi-lens apparatus for altering the mode field of an optical signal is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical fiber having a core region defining an optical axis and a GRIN-fiber lens positioned in relation to one end of the optical fiber. A biconic lens including an external surface defined by two different curves disposed substantially orthogonal to one another, a major curve C 1 and a minor curve C 2 , with C 1 and C 2 intersecting at or near the optical axis is positioned in relation to an end of the GRIN-fiber lens remote from the fiber. A method of manufacturing a multi-lens apparatus for altering the mode field of an optical signal, and an optical assembly are also disclosed.
