摘要：
We design two different types of lens-based fibre connectors and perform a tolerance study on these connectors through optical simulations. Next, we assemble these connectors and we measure experimentally the coupling efficiency. To obtain a better agreement between the experimental results and the results from the simulations, we measure the exact surface profiles of the micro-lenses and implement these real surface profiles in the simulation models. Finally, we repeat the tolerance analysis using the real lens surface profiles in the simulation.
