Abstract

We report a novel process to directly inscribe a Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lens on the cleaved facet of a hard clad polymer fiber using a femtosecond pulsed laser. The FZPs are designed by adopting modal analysis and free-space diffraction, which are experimentally implemented by locally ablating silica glass using femtosecond laser pulses. A good agreement between the design and fabricated FZP lens is obtained with an exceptionally long focal length over 600 m, which can have a strong potential in all-fiber beam shaping technology and optical interconnections.
