Application to micro-optics

As we already mentioned it in the introduction, miniaturization is not enough to create new opportunities for optical Microsystems. The collection of devices we talked about in this lesson was not thorough but gave indications about the possibilities provided by the new functionalities such as the networking, reconfigurability and nanopositioning. Future information technologies need communication networks always faster and smarter we only can obtain from “all optical” systems with more sophisticated optical functionalities, such as intelligent optical signal treatment or adaptative optics.
