Synopses & Reviews
This comprehensive reference presents an introduction and review of the optics and methods of microoptic elements with particular emphasis on lenses and lens arrays. Microoptics Technology, Second Edition includes new information that has emerged in the five years since the first edition. With two new chapters and another fully expanded, the book deals with all of the current and new methods of fabrication of microlenses, as well as refractive, GRIN, and diffractive methods. It also includes chapters on optical devices that utilize the microoptic fabrication methods, including micro-diffraction gratings and optical isolators, together with a discussion of a number of important applications.
Book News Annotation:
This second edition of a review of microoptics technology takes into
account the explosive development in the field over the past five
years, with new chapters on negative refractive index material and
femtosecond laser interaction with materials. The book considers the
advantages, limitations, and challenges associated with optical
imaging, covering microlens types and fabrication techniques,
applications of microlens arrays, the fabrication of microdiffraction
gratings, properties of optical isolators, photonic crystals, and the
interaction of short laser pulses with solids. Borrelli is a
physicist working in research and development in the private sector.
