Summary:
We proposes a new scheme of the tapered hyperbolic-end fiber (THEF) by etching the fiber end in a hydrofloride (HF) solution with a thin layer of oil floating on top of the HF. The tapered hyperbolic-end fiber microlens results in a more than 2 dB improvement in coupling efficiency when compared to the currently hemispherical microlenses.
