Natural compound eyes combine small eye volumes with a large field of view at the cost of
comparatively low spatial resolution. For small invertebrates such as flies or moths …

We review the most important fabrication techniques for glass and plastic refractive
microlenses and we quantitatively characterize in a systematic way the corresponding state …

Current lens systems are restricted in size, shape and dimensions by limitations of
manufacturing. Multi-lens elements with non-spherical shapes are required for high optical …

Micro-optics are widely used in numerous applications, such as beam shaping, collimation,
focusing and imaging. We use femtosecond 3D printing to manufacture free-form micro …

In this chapter we outline major principles of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)
design and operation. Basic device properties and generally applicable cavity design rules …

The 1st edition of the book “Light-Emitting Diodes” was published in 2003. The 2nd edition
was published in 2006. The current 3rd edition of the book, a substantial expansion of the …

Laser Beam Shaping: Theory and Techniques addresses the theory and practice of every
important technique for lossless beam shaping. Complete with experimental results as well …

This high-class book reflects a decade of intense research, culminating in excellent
successes over the last few years. The contributions from both academia as well as the …

The use of shape memory polymers is demonstrated for deformable, programmable, and
shape‐memorizing micro‐optical devices. A semi‐crystalline shape memory elastomer …

Abstract 3D printing of optics has gained significant attention in optical industry, but most of
the research has been focused on organic polymers. In spite of recent progress in 3D …
