abstract = {A method is reported for fabricating truly three-dimensional micro-photonic structures directly onto the end face of an optical fiber using the cross-linkable resist SU-8. This epoxide-based material is well suited for micro-device fabrication because it is photo-processed as a solid and the cross-linked material is mechanically robust, chemically resistant, and optically transparent. Yet, procedures commonly used to process SU-8, particularly spin-coating, are impractical when the intended fabrication substrate is the end-face of an optical fiber. A melt-reflow process was developed to prepare optical fibers having SU-8 resin deposited at controlled thickness on the fiber end-face. Multi-photon direct laser writing was then used to fabricate various refractive lenses, a compound lens system, and a woodpile photonic crystal within the resin on the end-face of the optical fiber. Data are presented that show how the refractive lenses can be used to alter the output of the optical fiber. This work opens a new path to low-profile integrated photonic devices.},

abstract = {In this work, a spectrally selective optical element is introduced based on a 2-D guided mode resonance filter (GMRF) as an external feedback element. The GMRF was designed to provide a highly efficient narrow linewidth reflection within the gain bandwidth of the fiber laser, while transmitting the pump beam. These features enabled the fiber laser to operate in an external cavity configuration to provide a wavelength-stabilized and narrow linewidth output within the optical -band.},
