Abstract

The method of producing microlenses in glass by a photo-thermal technique is applied to the fabrication of a linear lens array to be accurately positioned over a CCD detector array. The process is described with particular emphasis on the control of the optical and thermal steps so as to maintain the accuracy of alignment required.
