Abstract

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of a micro-scale mirror for single-mode, right-angle optical coupling. The mirror was formed by a punch that was fabricated with a precision 5-axis micro grinding process. The material of the mirror is aluminum, and the dimensions are 0.250 mm by 0.4 mm. We performed an experiment to evaluate the optical design of the mirror by coupling two single-mode fibers via the mirror in a right-angle arrangement. The mirror’s coupling efficiency was 89%, which agrees closely with the predicted design value.
