{"product_id":"photonic-microsystems-olav-solgaard-9781441939678","title":"Photonic Microsystems: Micro and Nanotechnology Applied to Optical Devices and Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book describes MEMS technology and demonstrates how MEMS allows miniaturization, parallel fabrication, and efficient packaging of optics, as well as integration of optics and electronics. It shows how the characteristics of MEMS enable practical implementations of a variety of applications, including projection displays, fiber switches, interferometers, spectrometers. The book goes on to describe the phenomenon of Photonic crystals (nanophotonics) and demonstrate how Photonic crystals enable synthesis of materials with optimized optical characteristics and allow control over optical fields over sub-wavelength distances, leading to devices with improved scaling and functionality compared to traditional optics. The book concludes with a discussion of the need for the combination of MEMS and Photonic crystals by demonstrating that practical photonic-crystal devices leverage MEMS technology for integration and packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olav Solgaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441939679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441939678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.30d","brand":"Olav Solgaard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424376865023,"sku":"9781441939678","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9dda2aed-8ba8-47bc-93b5-b9791a46782b.jpg?v=1761529855","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photonic-microsystems-olav-solgaard-9781441939678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
