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.

Dieses erste Lehrbuch, das Mikro- und Nanooptik unter einem Dach behandelt, führt Sie in Physik, Technologie und Schlüsselanwendungen gleichermaßen gründlich ein. Zunächst geht es um die Physik des Lichts, ergänzt durch Kapitel zu brechenden und beugenden optischen Elementen. Die erfahrenen Autoren erläutern lithographische und andere Herstellungsverfahren für mikro- und nanooptische Bauelemente vor. Im zweiten Teil werden detail- und kenntnisreich optische Mikrosysteme und Wellenleiter sowie optischen Nanostrukturen wie photonische Kristalle und Metamaterialien behandelt. Jedes Kapitel enthält Fragen und Aufgaben. Das Lehrbuch ist geeignet für Vorlesungen in Physik und angewandter Optik.

Microoptics is an important enabling technology for many areas of application. In this updated second edition of their modern text and reference book, Stefan Sinzinger and Jürgen Jahns expertly and comprehensively present the basics and applications in microoptics, while incorporating the most important developments in recent years. An absolute must for physicists and electrical engineers, from advanced students right up to designers working in the field.

This book covers the state of the art of laser micro- and nanotechnology. The physical fundamentals of different processes and the application are presented. The book deals with different materials like phase change and memory alloys, thin films, polymers etc. New phenomena and mechanisms of laser-matter interaction in nano-domains are explained. This book is helpful for students, postgraduates, engineers and researches working not only in the field of laser microtechnology but also in high-tech industry, like photonics, microelectronics, information technology.
