摘要
Planar waveguide lenses are key elements of optical integrated circuits (OIC) widely applied in signal processing, and in optical communication systems. The computative design program allows to optimize lens-shape for best focusing performances. Design can be carried out also for anisotropic waveguide materials e.g. LiNbO3. Optimized lens-shape is encoded directly for electron-beam writing system based on a scanning electron microscope (JEOL 840 A) equipped with external lithographic beam control (ELPHY, Raith GmbH). By means of the system proton-exchanged lenses embedded in titanium-doped LiNbO3 waveguides were developed. These lenses could have near diffraction limited focus spots in relatively wide field angles (> +/- 1-degree).
