Abstract
Accurately attaching a lens to the core of an optical fiber is critically important in many applications, including optical communications, biology, and medicine. In this paper, we demonstrate two novel, flexible, inexpensive, and robust techniques that use light pressure force to affix a lens to the fiber core with sub-micron accuracy. These techniques for centering and attaching lenses may also be extended to a variety of light sources.
