Abstract

A fiber-optic delivery system consisting of a laser-to-fiber coupling unit and a fiber-to-fiber connector is described. Graded-index microlenses have been used as coupling optics. The realized system presents low intrinsic losses and good fiber misalignments tolerances, so it can be conveniently used in industrial and biomedical fields, where medium or high power lasers are required. Details of the design and of the experimental characterization are reported.
