Multiple researchers have explored the use of 3D printed micro-optical components as interfaces to quantum point emitters by considering different designs and configurations. Typically, these designs involve parametric structures optimized in combination with idealized point source models following the principles of imaging optics. In this work, we propose a different approach based on the use of well-known numerical routines developed in the field of illumination optics. We compare the obtained design to reference parametric 3D printed based interfaces, which have been used in the context of 3D printed micro-optical interfaces to single photon sources.
