Beschreibung
Miniaturization and mass replications have begun to lead theoptical industry in the transition from traditional analog to noveldigital optics. As digital optics enter the realm of mainstreamtechnology through the worldwide sale of consumer electronicdevices, this timely book aims to present the topic of digitaloptics in a unified way. Ranging from micro-optics tonanophotonics, and design to fabrication through to integration infinal products, it reviews the various physical implementations ofdigital optics in either micro-refractives, waveguide (planarlightwave chips), diffractive and hybrid optics or sub-wavelengthstructures (resonant gratings, surface plasmons, photonic crystalsand metamaterials). Finally, it presents a comprehensive list ofindustrial and commercial applications that are taking advantage ofthe unique properties of digital optics.
Applied Digital Optics is aimed primarily at opticalengineers and product development and technical marketing managers;it is also of interest to graduate-level photonics students andmicro-optic foundries.
* Helps optical engineers review and choose the appropriatesoftware tools to design, model and generate fabricationfiles.
* Gives product managers access to an exhaustive list ofapplications available in today's market for integrating suchdigital optics, as well as where the next potential application ofdigital optics might be.
* Provides a broad view for technical marketing managers in allaspects of digital optics, and how such optics can beclassified.
* Explains the numerical implementation of optical design andmodelling techniques.
* Enables micro-optics foundries to integrate the latestfabrication and replication techniques, and accordingly fine tunetheir own fabrication processes.

"A volume that many engineers and students have been waiting for!Written by two eminent researchers in the field Bernard Kress andPatrick Meyrueis, Applied Digital Optics fulfils a real need formany." (Current Engineering Practice, 2010)
"Summing up, a gem of a book those involved in digital opticscannot do without. The wide-ranging discussion of applications ofdigital optics will be recognized and highly regarded as a part ofthe armamentarium essential for anyone who wants to be brought upto date on what has been happening and what is happening in thefield. It will inspire even more innovation and progress in animportant field". (Current Engineering Practice, 1 November 2010)
