Abstract

We report what, as per our knowledge, is the first theoretical investigation of the excitation efficiency in presence of possible transverse and angular misalignments in case of single-mode circular core triangular refractive index profile fiber excitation by laser diode via hemispherical microlens on the fiber tip. The present analysis takes into consideration limited aperture allowable by the hemispherical lens. Using ABCD matrix for refraction of paraxial rays by a hemispherical microlens, we prescribe analytical expressions for the coupling efficiencies in presence of the said mismatches. The evaluation of the concerned efficiencies and associated losses will require little computations. The results found will be extremely useful in the field of optimum launch optics involving such coupler.
