Collective Micro-Optics Technologies for VCSEL Photonic Integration

Figure 2

Main microoptical elements developed for VCSEL beam shaping: refractive lens (a), Fresnel-like or diffractive microlens (b), microtip (c). These objects can be fabricated either directly on the emitting surface (top or bottom) or above an intermediate transparent pedestal layer (dot line).
