Image-fiber coupler using graded-index rod-lens based 4f imaging microoptics

We developed a 8x8 image-fiber branching lens system using graded-index rod-lens based 4f image relay. Optical alignment can be achieved only by butt-joint on V-grooves. Output-image configuration (erect or inverted) are uniform at all the output ports.
