  • Abstract
    An optical coupling scheme between a laser diode and a single-mode fiber utilizing a lensed fiber integrated with a long-period fiber grating is experimentally demonstrated and qualitatively analyzed. A long working distance of 110 μm and a coupling of 35% are obtained for a laser diode with an ellipticity of 2.5. The longitudinal and transverse tolerances at 1-dB excess loss are 26 and 2.5 μm, respectively.
