A cylindrical microlens is microfabricated on PLC to reduce diffraction loss. A fiber-to-fiber loss of 6.3 dB is measured. © 2003 Optical Society of America.Butt coupling; Diffraction loss; Fiber-to-fiber loss; MEMS mirrors; Micro-lens; Microfabricated; Planar light-wave circuits; Optical switches; MOEMSconference paper2-s2.0-33748793198
