Data for article: Design and fabrication of fiber optic microlenses using an arc fusion splicing system

The files include the data presented in the manuscript "Design and fabrication of fiber optic microlenses using an arc fusion splicing system" by S. Matczak, D. Stachowiak and G. Soboń.Figure 4 presents simulations of mode field diameter of a fiber through the tapered single-mode fiber with the taper length range from 1000 µm to 6000 µm.Figure 5 presents the simulations of coupling from designed ball-type microlens structures to SMF: coupling efficiency results obtained for three different values of LCPF: 300 µm, 600 µm, 900 µmFigure 7 presents simulation and measurement results for the microlenses on the end of a fiber of beam radius and focal length as a function of the length of the coreless passive fiber.Figure 8 presents the measurements of the beam radius and focal length of the ball-type microlensesFigure 9 presents the measurement results for the fiber tip microlenses: the beam radius and focal length as a function of the taper lengthFigure 10 presents the measurements of the beam radius and focal length of the optical fiber sharp tips: measured beam profiles along the propagation axis, Figure 11 presents the measurements of the beam radius and focal length of the optical fiber curved tips: measured beam profiles along the propagation axisFigure 12 presents the simulation and measurement results for the microlenses on a tapered fiber of beam radius and focal length as a function of the microlens diameterFigure 13 presents the measurements of the beam radius and focal length of the microlenses on a tapered fiber: measured beam profiles along the propagation axis of various microlenses diameter and with a constant DTAPER valueFigure 14 presents the repeatability measurement of geometrical and optical parameters of fabricated microlenses over 10 fabricated samples with targeted diameter of D=220 µm.
