SPP 1337: Active Micro-Optics

在这一优先计划中，将开发技术、材料和组装技术，以制造具有可控可调谐的光学微系统。微系统工程的最新发展，特别是新型材料的机械加工和混合集成，将使新型可变微光学元件和系统的构思成为可能。优先方案的总目标是建立可调谐微型光学的科学基础和技术能力。可调谐微光学的新的和创新的概念的发展将需要材料、光学设计、光学制造、微机械、微流体以及组装和封装技术等领域的新思想和概念的融合。这一领域特别令人感兴趣的是软物质领域，在该领域中，光学质量的材料可以通过机械、电或磁刺激来变形。这项集中的研究工作有以下总体科学目标：

In this Priority Programme the technologies, materials and assembly techniques, which will allow the fabrication of optical micro systems with controllable tunability will be developed. Recent developments in micro systems engineering, in particular the machining and hybrid integration of new types of materials, will allow new types of variable micro-optical components and systems to be conceived. The overall goal of the Priority Programme is the establishment of the scientific basis for as well as the technical capabilities of tunable micro-optics. Development of new and innovative concepts for tunable micro-optics will require the fusion of new ideas and concepts from fields as diverse as materials, optical design, optics fabrication, micro-mechanics, micro-fluidics and assembly and packaging technology. Of particular interest in this area is the field of soft matter, in which materials of optical quality may be deformed using mechanical, electrical or magnetic stimulation. This concentrated research effort has the following overall scientific goals:
