ABSTRACT:
A core layer of a planar gradient-index waveguide lens is formed from a longitudinal section of a graded-index blank. The longitudinal section is mounted on a substrate that provides support for subsequent operations on the longitudinal section and that also functions as a cladding layer of the waveguide lens. The longitudinal section can be machined or redrawn in a furnace together with the substrate to a final thickness dimension.
