Exploring the Frontier of Micro-Optics
In today’s technological landscape, the shrinking of optical components to sizes smaller than a pinhead has revolutionized diverse industries. From telecommunications to healthcare, micro-optics are pushing boundaries previously limited to research and defense sectors.
Applications in Biomedical Science
One of the most promising frontiers for micro-optics lies in biomedical applications. Here, Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS) integrate optics with electronics and mechanics, enabling advancements such as 3D intraoral scanners and sensors for monitoring intraocular pressure to aid in conditions like glaucoma.
