Novel components for tunable micro-optics

Abstract

We will present some technologies and devices employed for the fabrication of tunable micro-optics. Tunable liquid lenses and lens arrays as well as polymer membrane-based microlenses and scanning mirrors are of both academic and industrial interest in this area.
