| Zusammenfassung: | A lensed apparatus for altering the mode field of an optical signal is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical fiber biconic lens disposed on an end of the optical fiber such that the optical fiber and the biconic lens define an optical axis. The biconic lens includes 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
, wherein C
1
and C
2
intersect at or near the optical axis. A method of manufacturing a lensed apparatus for altering the mode field of an optical signal, and an optical assembly are also disclosed. |
