摘要
A polymer-based graded index (GRIN with n = 1.4-1.6) waveguide lens was demonstrated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. The transparent bandwidth of the polymer film (photolime gel) is from approximately 280 to approximately 2800 nm. Therefore, UV (ultraviolet), visible and near-IR (infrared) light can be employed as the signal carrier wavelength. In this letter, an off-axis chirped grating lens working at 632.8 nm with 35 mm focal length, 680/mm chirp rate, and angular field of view of 6-degrees was demonstrated. Measured focal spot size of the main lobe is 5.6 mum which is very close to the theoretical prediction (4.2 mum). The crosslink-induced index modulation is as high as 0.2. Therefore, an array of chirped phase grating lenses can be multiplexed onto the same holographic emulsion for one- and two-dimensional massive fanout optical interconnects and signal processing.
