Fundamentals of micro optics From optical fundamentals to advanced applications this comprehensive guide to micro optics covers all the key areas for those who need an in depth introduction to micro optic devices technologies and applications. Topics covered range from basic optics optical materials refraction and diffraction to micro mirrors micro lenses diffractive optics optoelectronics and fabrication. Advanced topics such as tunable and nano optics are also discussed. Real world case studies and numerous worked examples are provided throughout making complex concepts easier to follow whilst an extensive bibliography provides a valuable resource for further study. With exercises provided at the end of each chapter to aid and test understanding this is an ideal textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students taking courses in optics photonics micro optics microsystems and MEMs. It is also a useful self study guide for research engineers working on optics development Micro optics developed as a branch of classical optics in the latter half of the twentieth century and focused initially on miniaturized refractive lenses and novel forms of diffractive optics. In recent years it has begun to meld with the capabilities of microsystems such that the fields of micro optics optical microsystems integrated optics and optical MEMS share many technologies components and envisaged applications Introduction The physics of light Optical materials Optical interfaces Interferometry Reflective micro optics Refractive micro optics Diffractive micro optics Guided wave micro optics Active micro optics Micro optical fabrication Tunable micro optics Fluidic micro optics Nano optics
