摘要

Abstract

In light science and applications

equally important roles are played by efficient light emitters/detectors and by the optical elements responsible for light extraction and delivery. The latter should be simple

cost effective

broadband

versatile and compatible with other components of widely desired micro-optical systems. Ideally

they should also operate without high-numerical-aperture optics. Here

we demonstrate that all these requirements can be met with elliptical microlenses 3D printed on top of light emitters. Importantly

the microlenses we propose readily form the collected light into an ultra-low divergence beam (half-angle divergence below 1°) perfectly suited for ultra-long-working-distance optical measurements (600 mm with a 1-inch collection lens)

which are not accessible to date with other spectroscopic techniques. Our microlenses can be fabricated on a wide variety of samples

including semiconductor quantum dots and fragile van der Waals heterostructures made of novel two-dimensional materials

such as monolayer and few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides.
