Publisher's Synopsis
This text gives an overview of diffractive and refractive micro-optics, and includes also guided wave micro-optics. Special attention is given to the latest techniques including deep etch lithography, like excimer lasers, LIGA and high energy ion radiation.;It includes optical data transmission in waveguides and free-space, compact optical imaging systems, and many other areas of optical engineering. The major techniques are covered, with methods for each, and the book provides a reference as to what is now possible in the field of micro-optics.
