Abstract
MEMS technology offer substantial advantages for optical systems: Tight dimensional tolerances allow accurate control of optical fields, MEMS actuators provide tunability, parallel processing leads to low cost, and miniaturization simplifies packaging and installation. Cost-effective use of microfabrication technology requires miniaturization, however, so optical MEMS presents unique challenges in design and scaling.
