Abstract :
| Optomechatronic Technology: Smart Integration of Optical and Mechatronic Technologies One of the recent waves in engineering technology field is that optical and mechatronic engineering technologies are being integrated together in order to produce synergistic effect that results in creation of new functions, enhancement of system performance, and embedding multi-functionalities. Central to the prime mover driving this trend is “Optomechatronics” or “Optomechatronic Technology,” the technology that integrates the function of optical, mechanical and electronic elements in both indispensable and complementary fashion. In this technology, optical elements enhance the functionality of mechatronics and in many cases introduce entirely new capabilities. Likewise, mechatronic elements bring the same synergistic effects to optical systems. This talk, with emphasis on importance of multi-disciplinary and multi-technology fusion, addresses the underlying concepts and features of the technology by analyzing a variety of practical optomechatronic systems such as optical storage systems, microscopes including AFM, micro-nano manipulation systems, MOEMS, adaptive imaging systems, laser printing systems, 3D display systems, bio-medical imaging systems, optical sensing and measurement systems, etc. The analysis decomposes a system into different functional units and identifies their functionalities required to generate desirable system performance. This analyzing process shows how the signals of optical and mechatronic elements are interacting together to produce the necessary functionalities and how such interaction can be achieved with the aids of controllable and observable elements. As an illustrative field, the later part of this talk focuses on an adaptive/controllable optical imaging which comprises control of imaging view direction, image distortion correction, selective imaging, image stabilization, image tracking, sensing and measurement, noise reduction, and so on. | | | |

Based on light-induced dielectrophoresis, OET can trap and sort colloidal particles, biological cells, nanowires and nanoparticles using a digital light projector. In this paper, we will present the principle and recent experimental results of OET. | | | |
Bio-data: Title : Abstract: | Hans Zappe
Dean of Enginerring Faculty, Department of Microsystems Engineering, University of Freiberg
Hans Zappe is Professor of Micro-optics and Dean of Engineering in the Department of Microsystems Engineering at the University of Freiburg, Germany. Born in France and raised in New York, he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at MIT and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, all in Electrical Engineering. After pursuing research activities in electronics, integrated optics and semiconductor lasers at IBM, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics and the Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique, he joined the University of Freiburg in 2000. His current research interests focus on tunable micro-optics, optical micro-systems for medical applications and novel nano-optics. Tunable photonics for advanced medical diagnostics Advances in opto-mechatronics, microsystems and micro-optics have led to a rapid development of new types of photonic components, and their use in complex micro- and nano-systems will require interdisciplinary engineering to fully realize their potential. One area what stands to benefit significantly from these developments is that of medical diagnostics. Tunable photonic devices employ a change in the optical properties of micro-lenses, micro-mirrors or filters which can result in a significant increase in functionality. Controlled variability of focal length, position, lens curvature or transmission wavelength, for example, may be achieved using physical and chemical effects usually not available in macro-optics. We will present some of the technologies and devices being employed for the fabrication of tunable micro-optics and photonics, including liquid lenses, lens arrays, tunable achromatic compound lenses, and polymer membrane-based micro-lenses and mirrors, and present applications for in vivo blood oxygen monitoring and endoscopic optical coherence tomography.
