Abstract

The fabrication and performance of a hybrid diffractive optical system for use in planar optic interconnects is presented. Specifically, a novel fiber-optic tap utilizing both lithographic surface relief microlenses and interferometrically generated holographic volume elements is discussed. This system serves as an interface between fiber and planar optic interconnects for signal distribution. Design tradeoffs and experimental results are given.<>
