SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2010 – Various applications of microelectromechanical and micro-optoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and MOEMS, respectively) proved popular at the MOEMS-MEMS subconference’s plenary talks Monday morning at SPIE’s Photonics West. The talks were nearly all full, with several attendees forced to stand at the back or along the sides of the room, but that didn’t appear to deter anyone from joining the crowd to hear about the latest developments in MEMS technologies. MEMS for sensing In “Emerging Research in Microsystems: Opportunities and Challenges in Health-Care and Environmental...Read full article

    adaptive optics
    Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology used to improve the performance of optical systems by reducing the effects of atmospheric distortions. The Earth's atmosphere can cause light passing through it to experience distortions, resulting in image blurring and degradation in various optical applications, such as astronomical observations, laser communications, and imaging systems. Adaptive optics systems actively adjust the optical elements in real-time to compensate for these distortions. Key...
    astronomy
    The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
    microelectromechanical systems
    Refers to micron-size complex machines that have physical dimensions suitable for the fabrication of optical switches for use in state-of-the-art communications networks.
    power
    With respect to a lens, the reciprocal of its focal length. The term power, as applied to a telescope or microscope, often is used as an abbreviation for magnifying power.
