2.Light coupling into optical fiber and integrated waveguide structure is one of the most
time consuming task. Assume that the fiber has a core diameter of 100m and a NA of
0.25, and trhe design requires that the total distance from the source to the fiber be
100mm, which lenses are appropriate (find lens’s focal length, f-number and numeric
apeture magnification and clear aperature )?

3. Fiber coupling spheres. Tiny glass balls are often used as lenses to couple light into and
out of optical fibers. The fiber end is located at a distance f from the sphere. For a sphere
of radius a=1 mm and refractive index n =1.8, determine f such that a ray parallel to the
optical axis at a distance y=0.7mm is focused onto the fiber, as illustrated in figure
4. Derive the focal length for the general and bi-concave lenses.
5. Derive expression for effective focal length for two or more lenses system.
6. Show the graphical location of image for a three lenses system (thin lens
approximation)

1. Using ray- transfer matrix and find a relationship between radius R in terms of indices
of nair, nlens and d where a diverging beam after going through this planar-convex lens can
be collimated.
2. Remember the beam is diverge from a fiber, and after going through the lens system,
the beam is a collimated with a beam diameter D. please find the ray-transfer matrix for
the following lens system.
