Microlenses come with a variety of arrays and designs. A simple microlens comes with a single plane surface and a spherical convex surface to refract light. More complex microlenses use many layers of optical material or spherical convex surfaces. Here are the various types, applications, and benefits.

Gradient index optics (GRIN lenses)- This is a variety of microlens with two flat and corresponding surfaces. Its main applications include coupling the output of diode lasers into fibers and focusing laser light on a detector.
Micro-Fresnel lens - Focuses light through refraction in a set of concentric curved surfaces. The lens' most significant advantage is its lightweight and very thin.
Applications of Microlens Arrays Microlens arrays' primary function is to increase the collection of light efficiency of charge-coupled device arrays. They play a part in collecting and focusing light that would fall onto non-sensitive areas of the CCD. In other places, they use these devices in digital projectors to help focus light. With innovations, there are also microlens arrays made for new imaging properties.
Here are some applications: Medical laser systems optical sensors Illumination systems Display and HUD imaging systems Digital projectors Photocopiers and smartphone photo cameras 3D imaging and displays
