How Micro-Optics are Revolutionizing Optical Systems

Micro-optics is a burgeoning field within optics that deals with the miniaturization and integration of optical components and systems at the microscale. By employing advanced fabrication techniques and materials, micro-optics offer tremendous potential for enhancing the performance and functionality of optical devices.

Micro-optics involves the design, fabrication, and implementation of optical components and systems with dimensions typically ranging from a few micrometers to millimeters, thus enabling the manipulation of light at microscopic levels to achieve desired optical functions. While micro-optic components are practically identical to traditional optical components with the exception of scale, the manufacturing and fabrication techniques required to produce these components are highly impressive and often differ significantly from those required to produce traditional optical components. Some of these fundamental micro-optic components include:
