MOEMS Micro-opto-electro-mechanical Systems

"This is a great compendium of fundamentals, research, and applications in the rapidly growing area of optical microsystems. Every engineer working on MOEMS should have this on his or her bookshelf." --Douglas R. Sparks, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Integrated Sensing Systems Inc. (ISSYS) This book introduces the exciting and fast-moving field of MOEMS to graduate students, scientists, and engineers by providing a foundation of both micro-optics and MEMS that will enable them to conduct future research in the field. Born from the relatively new fields of MEMS and micro-optics, MOEMS are proving to be an attractive and low-cost solution to a range of device problems requiring high optical functionality and high optical performance. MOEMS solutions include optical devices for telecommunication, sensing, and mobile systems such as v-grooves, gratings, shutters, scanners, filters, micromirrors, switches, alignment aids, lens arrays, and hermetic wafer-scale optical packaging. An international team of leading researchers contributed to this book, and it presents examples and problems employing cutting-edge MOEM devices. It will inspire researchers to further advance the design, fabrication, and analysis of MOEM systems.Motamedi, M.Edward is the author of 'MOEMS Micro-opto-electro-mechanical Systems ', published 2004 under ISBN 9780819450210 and ISBN 0819450219.
