Description
Book SynopsisThe deep interconnection between micro/nanooptical components and related fabrication technologiesand the constant changes in this ever-evolving fieldmeans that successful design depends on the engineer's ability to accommodate cutting-edge theoretical developments in fabrication techniques and experimental realization.
Documenting the state of the art in fabrication processes, Microoptics and Nanooptics Fabrication provides an up-to-date synopsis of recent breakthroughs in micro- and nanooptics that improve key developmental processes. This text elucidates the precise and miniaturized scale of today's fabrication methods and their importance in creating new optical components to access the spectrum of physical optics. It details successful fabrication techniques and their direct effect on the intended performance of micro- and nanooptical components.
The contributors explore the constraints related to material selection, component lateral
