The efficient coupling of light between arrays of singlemode optical fibres has been demonstrated using arrays of refractive microlenses. The arrays are highly uniform in both spacing and the optical properties of the individual lenses.1 These lenses have little chromatic aberration, and concurrent operation at wavelengths of 1308nm and 1540nm has been demonstrated.
