METHOD FOR FORMING LENS AT END PORTION OF OPTICAL APPARATUS, OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, AND OPTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A method for forming a lens at an end portion of an optical apparatus, such as an optical fiber assembly, a fiber optical CRT or an LED array, which method comprises a dipping step wherein the end portion of the optical apparatus is dipped into an unsolidified photo-setting resin and a lighting step wherein the photo-setting resin is solidified according to an intensity distribution of the light outputted from the optical apparatus. Further, an optical information processing apparatus and an optical signal transmission apparatus have a lens array formed by the above method.
