Abstract
A system and related method and assembly are disclosed. The system comprises one or more optical fibers configured to propagate one or more optical signals. The system further comprises at least a first cylindrical lens element fixedly connected with the one or more optical fibers and configured to expand the one or more optical signals along a predefined dimension. The system further comprises at least a second cylindrical lens element optically coupled with the first cylindrical lens element and configured to condense the expanded one or more optical signals along the predefined dimension.
