A microlens fabricated on the end of a single‐mode fiber (SMF) can increase the coupling efficiency to laser diodes (LDs). A simulation of microlens formation and an analysis of the resulting coupling efficiency have been performed. The results are in good agreement with data obtained experimentally.
