Optics, Materials & Coatings: Micro-Optics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Better optical surfaces and arrays will help tiny lenses enable new technologies in communications, materials processing and sensing.

Dirk Hauschild, Limo Lissotschenko Microoptik GmbH

The telecommunications industry was one of the first users of micro-optics, back in the 1980s. The integration of semiconductor lasers, micro-optics and fibers into small packages was the economic basis of efficient optical networks. Today micro-optics are a marketable commodity and are well-established key components in many industrial areas with higher-than-average growth rates. Based on their experience with microelectronics, several institutes and companies developed technologies to produce small lenses with photolithography, etching and melting of glass or photoresist. On one hand,...Read full article
